Supporting Our Community in the Age of COVID-19
|
 |
The Rocky Mountain Cradle to Career Partnership (RMC2C) Backbone team is working to support network partners in their efforts to navigate through COVID-19. The Backbone continues to be in a position to bring people together to work collectively, specifically around emergency response and management related to COVID-19. Previously, RMC2C has exclusively focused on supporting youth from Cradle to Career. However, in light of the crisis our community currently faces, there is an immediate need to provide the Backbone's expertise, skills, and resources to the larger community.
See below for efforts underway across the region to support the community during this time, action needed to support these efforts, and additional resources around COVID-19.
If you have any questions or would like support with your COVID-19 efforts, contact Becky Hoffman at [email protected].
***We recognize your emails are inundated with information about COVID-19. The Partnership has been asked to provide the most up-to-date information related to resources, policy, and coordinated efforts underway.***
