Programs for Women Seniors
The YWCA offers engaging recreational activities for seniors who are members of the YWCA of WNY.
Free Senior Exercise Class--for Men and Women
YWCA has a FREE senior exercise class every Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. School House Commons at 1005 Grant Street. It is free of charge, but a $1.00 voluntary donation is accepted to help defray small expenses if people can help out. The class is both seated and standing so individuals in wheelchairs may participate. All physical activity levels are accommodated. Men and women are invited.

Speakers from the community also speak on available senior services.
