Ann Sherman, Teens, Inc. As you can see, we are still hard at work to help aid in the immediate situation. The impacts locally are great, and we are stepping in wherever possible. At TEENS, Inc., on numerous occasions we have been able to adapt to the immediate needs of the community and we are doing so once again during this unprecedented time!

Chinook West classes have already moved online. Tom, Bill, Mark, and Sandy have done incredible work getting this up and going. Advisors continue to connect with students through zoom or phone calls.

At Lookout Mountain Academy, classes and services are continuing as they must in a residential setting.

Providing online resources to families at NELC and throughout the community that will provide engaging and educational opportunities while social distancing at home.

Ann, our SEL Coordinator, is providing resources multiple times per week through Ned Mama’s Facebook page and also creating lessons that will be distributed to all Nederland Elementary families as part of their online schooling.

Our Hot Line is Live! - available multiple hours per day for parents to call when they may be a little frustrated, want to brainstorm some ideas or just want to talk with someone who will listen without judgement. 

NELC staff is participating in online professional development and working to improve the building, curriculum and operations to benefit children and families we serve.

We are also working to improve our preschool Colorado Shines rating from the mandated Level 1 (for new programs) towards our goal of Level 5.

We are distributing food – (over 900 lbs. of food / week over the last two weeks).

Developing a community database that connects volunteers with our most Covid19 vulnerable populations.

Providing our van to the Nederland food pantry for food pick up. 

Continuing to serve students with no cost therapeutic services.

Lastly, we are coordinating with other agencies in the Peak to Peak Region on how best we can enhance the services all of us offer and ensuring that our staff is available to help in this endeavor.
