Put smiles on the faces of a group of developmentally disabled adults while helping them improve their balance. We are seeking an enthusiastic volunteer to come in a minimum of one time every other week for 60 minutes to lead a "Gateway to Fitness" class and document client involvement. This 30 minute fall-prevention program was developed and is monitored by a physical therapist. No experience is needed. Orientation and training is provided for volunteers.
This class is conducted from Noon to 1 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. You are invited to come in for a tour before making any commitment.
Merrick Adult Day Services provides comprehensive day services for developmentally disabled adults in a clean and welcoming environment in downtown North St. Paul.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to empower adults with disabilities through vocational and social opportunities, and to guide them toward realizing their goals and dreams.
Description
A human services organization that began in 1964 and now supports over 375 clients, employs over 100 staff, and coordinates services throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area from our wonderful energy-efficient building in Vadnais Heights, Minnesota. In the summer of 2012 we opened a program site for Adult Day Services (ADS) and Memory Care Services (MCS) in downtown North St. Paul.
We are dedicated to empowering adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) through pre-vocational and life enrichment opportunities, and guiding them toward realizing their goals and dreams. Through person-centered planning and a discovery process, including selfadvocacy, the clients at Merrick are finding their place in the world:
- working in desired jobs;
- engaging in their communities;
- building relationships;
- enhancing personal skills, and
- leading more self-determined lives.
