Resuming In-Person Programs
We are currently offering a limited number of in-person programs. We continue to monitor the decisions made by the State of Illinois and the protocols needed as it affects our ability to offer in-person programs. We are trying to answer questions like: what will future programs look like, when will schools and park district facilities be open to host programs, can we hire and train staff quickly enough, and how can we provide safe programs for all involved.
