SENIOR ACTIVITIES

Whether it’s in the pool, on a walk or at a birthday social, our programs for seniors help you enjoy your friends and stay healthy.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

The Hockomock Area YMCA is committed to Social Responsibility, offering a variety of ways for seniors to be involved in the community. Seniors engage in the Y’s mission as a nonprofit, offering leadership and volunteering their time.

We offer opportunities for seniors to join town cleanups, contribute to local food pantries, and engage in meaningful ways with teenagers at camp and in the Leaders Program. Likewise, our staff contributes at community events and senior centers throughout the year, such as nutrition seminars and exercise programs.
