A MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Hello Casa Family,
I hope you are all doing well and your families are safe and sound. We are facing some challenging times with the COVID-19 pandemic but I want to assure you all that we are participating in State and Local information sharing and updates. We will bring this information to you as we learn and we will follow all mandates and recommendations. I am confident that we are prepared and we have an amazing family of staff capable of supporting each other and our youth during these times.
Below you will find a hub for employee and community information based around COVID-19 as well as any updates that may happen along the way. We set up this page so that you had a centralized place of information and to hopefully ease your fears a bit more.
Please stay safe and healthy!
Tamara Fleck-Myers
As other nonprofits, schools, community centers, and stores are forced to close their doors, Casa de Amparo will still provide 24/7 care for the many teens and babies that call our campus home. Our childcare staff and counselors are prepared to quarantine alongside our residents, leaving their own families; to keep our kids safe and loved. Below you will find Casa de Amparo’s policy on what is being done to ensure our youth and our employees are safe.
