Dear Merced Community, It is truly an unprecedented time we find ourselves in. On behalf of Merced College and the staff at the Business Resource Center, we hope you are all safe and healthy. The decision to cancel the College for Kids was a difficult one for all of us and with its long history, over 40 years, it is the first time it has not been offered! We know this is a difficult time and we are excited that we are able to offer a few of the classes that we believe will work for a live Zoom and your children will still have some fun while also gaining some valuable knowledge! We look forward to “seeing” you and your children soon! Thank you Elaine M. Craig, DirectorBusiness, Industry and Community ServicesMerced College Business Resource Center630 W. 19th StreetMerced, CA 95340209-386-6737
