Active Older Adults: Events
At the Skagit Valley Family YMCA, our AOA programs are all about staying connected, staying involved, and enjoying life — together.
These gatherings are designed for adults 55+ who want to stay socially active, explore new interests, and build friendships in a comfortable, welcoming space.
From group outings to local favorites like La Conner and Concrete…
to our weekly “Rise and Grind at the Y” coffee chats…
to educational talks, cultural programs, and guest speakers —
there’s always something happening to keep you learning, laughing, and engaged.
Whether you’re catching up with friends over a warm cup of coffee, trying something new on a field trip, or just enjoying time with others who value community — you’ll find your people here.
Bring a friend, make a new one, and make the Y a place where you belong — where you can connect, share stories, 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!
