Engaging with your community is one of the most effective ways to support physical and mental well-being. Social connection boosts your mood, encourages activity, and helps you discover new skills. Fortunately for Yorba Linda residents, the city’s Parks and Recreation Department offers a wide range of volunteer programs, social gatherings, and classes designed to bring people together and enrich daily life.
The city’s year-round calendar includes monthly ice cream birthday celebrations, weekday coffee gatherings, and bi-monthly Monday movie matinees—all created to inspire connection and support active, healthy living. A highlight each year is the Wellness Expo for adults aged 50 and older, featuring health and wellness vendors, medical screenings, seminars, food, and live demonstrations that celebrate senior vitality.
Residents looking to stay active can participate in bi-weekly Longevity Stick balance sessions or enjoy both introductory and advanced line dancing. The quarterly Senior Bulletin lists all programs, services, and events in one place, making it easy for seniors to explore new interests, stay fit, and meet new people.
Yorba Linda also offers several volunteer opportunities for all ages. The Clean Parks Campaign invites community members to help maintain the city’s 147 acres of parks, trails, and public spaces. Additionally, the city partners with the Orange County Aging Services Collaborative, supporting programs that enhance the aging experience. Volunteering not only benefits the community—it also provides a renewed sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Neighboring cities share this commitment to engagement. Villa Park’s Community Services Foundation will host a spring 5K and its annual “Spring Into Health” Fair, featuring demonstrations, vendors, and wellness activities. Similar opportunities are available in Anaheim Hills, Placentia, and Brea.
Whether you join a class, volunteer, or attend an event, participating in community programs boosts well-being—for both you and your city. Explore more at www.yorbalindaca.gov.
