With the abrupt closure of schools around the country as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many community-based organizations that provide critical supports to students in the school building have had to stop offering services. Others have quickly transitioned to a new way of serving students and have learned some early and important lessons along the way.
Child Trends has been working with youthCONNECT at Suitland High School, a group of nonprofits serving students at Suitland High School in Prince George’s County, Maryland (see “About youthCONNECT” below). The last day of in-person classes in Prince George’s County Public Schools was March 13, 2020, and within a week, youthCONNECT pivoted to serving its students remotely for the remainder of the school year. This blog shares what some of our youthCONNECT partners have learned about serving students during the pandemic.
