- Follow the Rules: We will follow the direction being given by our local and national government and comply with it if at all possible. If authorities are asking us to not meet in groups bigger than ten, we will adjust programming to reflect that. If a stay-at-home order is in effect, all volunteers and interns will be asked to work remotely.
- If You Touch Sickness, Stay Home!: If anyone is sick, has symptoms, or has been close to someone who is sick, alert the authorities and quarantine yourself. Remain in quarantine at least 5 days or longer depending on symptoms. Your job is to get well!
- Office Cleanliness & Safety: Employees and interns will be asked to wash their hands as they enter the office and frequently throughout the day, and are encouraged to wear masks. Social distancing will be in effect, maintaining at least 6 feet of distance. Additionally, where possible, activities will take place outdoors. The office will be deep cleaned once a week, and all employees and interns will be asked to ensure their work area is sanitized at the end of each day.
- Work Creatively: We will need to be creative in order to be both compliant to any restrictions, but to continue to serve young people and their families. We will work together as a team to create a strategy to stay connected and to care. If anything, this approach can allow us to be even more connected and intentional than we would usually be. There are many administrative tasks that can be performed remotely as well as many meetings that can be/will be moved to Zoom calls.
