About Our Project: Building a Healthier Future for Carmel’s Seniors
Each year, the Leadership Carmel class participates in a community service project that benefits a local nonprofit and leaves a lasting impact on the community. For our class project, we are working on improvements to The Carmel Foundation's Health & Wellness Center, including a Wellness Studio and senior-friendly fitness equipment to enhance mobility, strength, and well-being.
Wellness Studio Improvements
The new Wellness Studio will be dedicated to programs that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This space will focus on health and wellness offerings, including:
- Classes – Stretching, balance, yoga, and other movement-based sessions.
- Small Group Sessions – Emotional health support- and discussion- groups.
- Workshops – Health and wellness workshops

Exercise Equipment
Currently, there is no strength or cardio equipment available for members. We are raising funds to purchase:
Three Recumbent Bikes and One Stationary Bike – Providing safe, low-impact cardio workouts to support heart health and joint mobility.
Weight Machines – Designed for safe and effective strength training, helping seniors maintain muscle mass, mobility, and independence.
These improvements will help with expanding their classes and services, The Carmel Foundation is deepening its commitment to helping older adults age successfully by providing accessible opportunities.


Giving Levels
As The Carmel Foundation celebrates 75 years of serving seniors this year, these improvements and equipment will provide a vital hub for movement, wellness, and community engagement. Your charitable investment will support successful aging and leave a visible and lasting mark on the community for years to come.
