Merrick House’s gymnasium allows youth and other community members to participate in organized recreation such as basketball or physical conditioning. It serves as a healthy alternative to the streets.

In 2011 we started a Healthy Living Program. Additional programs include ZUMBA, Youth Karate, Nutrition Classes, Health Screenings, Physical Fitness and Character and Leadership Programs, as well as a Summer Youth Basketball League.
