AOA (Active Older Adult) Board
If you remember Y Co dances, S&H Green Stamps, ordering items on the clipboard at Dahlkemper’s, or waking up to The Morning Mayor Frank Martin, you just might be an Active Older Adult.
Our Active Older Adult Programming promotes successful aging by providing an engaging atmosphere encompassing mind, body, and spirit. By creating a space full of celebration and friends, this programming combats isolation, promotes community, and encourages life-long learning.
If you’re 55+ and you’d like input on our AOA events, speakers, and activities in your branch and at the YMCA of Greater Erie as a whole, please join our AOA board. It won’t take much of your time – a 45-minute quarterly get-together at your Y location, and some optional email surveys. Let your voice be heard!
