Welcome Home Program

The YMCA of Greater Boston, through its Constitution Inn branch in the Charlestown Navy Yard, is launching a new program in collaboration with the Massachusetts 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 13 branches of the YMCA of Greater Boston, which are located throughout the city and in four suburban locations.  

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. Once accepted, an intake/orientation session with a fitness expert at the YMCA of Greater Boston branch of their choice will be scheduled.  Download the application form here and submit it to the Constitution Inn YMCA.
