Open Gym

Open Gym is a 15-year-old program for youth that provides them with recreational, educational, and social activities, homework help, and physical fitness, leadership, and skills-building trainings. We look to our volunteers to teach their unique skills and talents to the youth in the program. During the school year Open Gym is after school until 6:00p.m. Open Gym also takes place during summer, winter, and spring breaks during the day or evening.
