Open University Classes

Open University Classes Open to Everyone The YMCA Open University is committed to offering a wide variety of affordable courses open to all members of the community. Variety “We really only need a handful of people with an interest in something, and it offers an opportunity for the instructor to share what they know. Sometimes they’re so esoteric that there might not be any other venue that would be interested in giving it a try. I’m not sure where else you’d go to take a class or workshop in Intro to Animal Tracking.” - Carol McNeely 4 | The Y as a Center for Learning | YMCA at Virginia Tech
