One of the best ways to prevent the spread of viral illnesses is to minimize the circumstances in which individuals might interact and transmit the diseases.

The safety of our community is our top priority. We realize that our COVID-19 policy guidelines will cause disruption, but the risk of not acting outweighs the inconvenience of these temporary measures. We will share updates as more information becomes available. Learn how we’re working to keep our communities safe.

Thank you for your understanding in these difficult circumstances. I am currently out of the office but will return Friday and have already been working on contingency plans for many of our events in the coming weeks. Know that we are working hard to make sure our youth continue to have a positive youth development experience.
