This free program is offered at nine schools throughout the Township until May 22, 2020. Youth participate in a combination of team building activities, recreation, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) projects, and fun arts and crafts activities. Youth can also receive homework help. Open Gym is designed to give youth a safe, fun, and positive place to go that allows youth to make new friends and showcase their skills.
