The Stonestown Family YMCA provides activities for Y-Adults ages 60+ years. At the Y, older adults have a chance to keep active and grow in spirit, mind, and body. Most of our Y-Adult programs are free of charge. We don’t turn anyone away because of inability to pay for our fee-based programs. From exercise classes to trips and lifelong learning programs, there is something for everyone!
These programs serving the community are funded by the City of San Francisco’s Department of Disability and Aging Services.

If you're interested in any of our programs or have any questions, please contact the Annex front desk at (415) 242-7135 or Jazmin at (415) 242-7127.
