Welcome Home Program
The YMCA of Greater Boston, through its Constitution Inn YMCA in the Charlestown Navy Yard, is launching a new program in collaboration with the MA Department of Veterans’ Services and the V.A. This program is specifically geared toward assisting any local service member who has been injured in Iraq or Afghanistan. Those who have been treated in V.A. hospitals and clinics will be given preference. However, the program is open to all veterans who have served since 9/11/01 who have service-related injuries that would benefit from the type of exercise programs that can be provided at any of the 12 facility locations of the YMCA of Greater Boston, which are located throughout the city and in four suburban locations.
All 12 YMCAs have fitness centers with up to date cardiovascular and strength equipment, free weights, a variety of group exercise classes, and qualified staff available to set up appropriate individual exercise/rehabilitation programs in communication as needed with any medical professionals (physicians, physical therapists, nurses, etc) who may have been involved previously, in or outside of the V.A. system. Eleven of the 12 YMCAs also feature swimming pools and gymnasiums.
The program includes a full year of membership, free of charge, with funding provided by the Constitution Inn YMCA of the YMCA of Greater Boston. Participants must apply to the Constitution Inn YMCA regardless of which YMCA they wish to join. Please click here for an application form. Once accepted, an intake/orientation session with a fitness expert at the YMCA of Greater Boston location of their choice will be scheduled.
Additional Scholarships
Additional financial assistance for our programs and services may be available. Please inquire at the Welcome Center for more information.
