Active Older Adults: Events
At the Skagit Valley Family YMCA, our Active Older Adults (AOA) events are all about connection, community, and enjoying life together. These gatherings are designed specifically for older adults who want to stay socially engaged, explore new interests, and build lasting friendships in a welcoming environment.
From local field trips to scenic spots like La Conner or Concrete, to our weekly “Rise and Grind at the Y” coffee socials, there’s always something happening to keep you connected. We also host educational presentations, cultural outings, and community talks that spark conversation and keep minds sharp.
Whether you’re looking to catch up with friends over a hot cup of coffee, discover something new on a group excursion, or simply enjoy good company, our AOA events are a great way to get involved. Bring a friend, meet new ones, and make the Y your place to belong, laugh, and thrive!
Rise and Grind at the Y!
☕ Rise and Grind at the Y
Where coffee, connection, and community come together.
Start your Friday mornings off right with Rise and Grind at the Y, a weekly coffee and chat gathering for Active Older Adults at the Skagit Valley Family YMCA! We kick things off every Friday at 8:00 AM in the Y Community Room—and keep the conversation brewing until the coffee runs out.
Whether you’re looking to meet new friends, catch up with familiar faces, or just enjoy a relaxed start to your day, Rise and Grind is the perfect spot to do it. Sometimes we play games, sometimes we host speakers, but it’s always about good coffee and even better company.
Bring a friend—everyone is welcome! It’s a casual, drop-in style event, so no need to register.
We proudly serve Fidalgo Coffee, a local roaster doing more than just making great brews. Through their Underground Coffee partnership with Underground Ministries, each cup you enjoy helps support job training and second chances for people reentering society after incarceration. That means your morning coffee is helping transform lives—right here in our community.
📅 Every Friday | 🕗 8:00 AM until the coffee runs out | 📍 Y Community Room
Because mornings are better with friends—and a mission-driven cup of coffee.
Come sip, chat, and connect—only at the Y!
