This past year has indeed been challenging.  When the pandemic first hit our area in March of 2020 it was coupled with extreme anxiety.

Since March 2020, our team has worked through challenges presented by COVID-19, such as school closures, social-distance restrictions, technology disparities, and food insecurity among our families. At the same time, we persevered, got creative, and learned a lot. 

COVID-19 has hit the communities we serve particularly hard. The youth in our programs are primarily girls of color from low-income backgrounds, and their families have seen economic and health challenges in the wake of the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped normalcy for everyone. In this new world, the first  priority for Kids On Point was making sure all of our students and families are safe,  healthy, and have their needs met.
