COVID-19 PROGRAM UPDATES
TEEP
School Year 2020-2021
• TEEP is excited to welcome its 4th Director, Taneyri DeJesus, just in time for TEEP’s 22nd Summer! Taneyri brings a wealth of youth development experience, and we’re excited to have her on board this summer.
• TEEP is planning a hybrid summer, with weekly trips to the Blue Hills. We’ll be focused on wellness and building our community, and engaging in/designing a community service activist project in honor of Bolivar Soto.
Twenty-six high school students participated in LDP 2019–2020. As a result of COVID-19, the program went virtual after March, and LDP staff and youth leaders had to reimagine the summer camp. With enthusiasm and fortitude, nineteen LDP leaders produced a successful five-week virtual program, offering mental health and wellness, case management, and academic enrichment for the MS students and their families.
TEEP continues to stay connected through individual outreach to students and families along with monthly virtual support spaces and events. In-person engagements have been limited, including a socially distant group walk, with plans for a socially distant holiday party in the works. Plans and recruitment for an in-person 2021 are underway, in on-going observance of state and local guidelines.

In compliance with City, State, and Federal regulations Trinity Boston Connects and TEEP offices remain closed. We thank you for your continued patience as we navigate the uncertainty of this crisis. Please know that we are available to schedule phone calls or video calls as needed. We have reached many folks via phone, but if you prefer, please feel free to communicate via e-mail.
Every Saturday @ 2 PM TEEP goes Live on Instagram. These one-hour sessions offer an opportunity to reflect, check in, and enjoy the comfort of community. Follow us @teep.boston to stay connected.
We are working on preparing virtual sessions with students, but understand that screen-time priority goes to school work. While we can’t be together as we’d like, we want to offer the opportunity to come together virtually. Members of the High School LDP will have a Zoom meeting on Saturday, April 18th. With their leadership we’ll plan another opportunity to engage with TEEP Middle School. Below are the scheduled dates for the remainder of the semester and summer. These dates are subject to change based on regulations made by public health officials as well as availability at our site.
TEEP team is doing all that we can to host our traditional summer session. If we are able to offer the standard 5-week program session, we will. In the meantime, we’re considering different models based on the needs and availability of program participants, partners, and youth staff. It may not be the same format, but we will continue our efforts in creating a safe and supportive community where every member is inspired to discover, empowered to achieve, and individually affirmed.
For resources, please see the list of links below. And again, we thank you for your patience and your commitment to community!

• We are relieved to share that as of yet, no team or community members have reported symptoms–we center each day with gratitude for our health and safety! We do have people in our communities who are either battling or have tragically succumb to COVID-19. We keep them in our hearts and prayers daily.
• We are continuing outreach to families of program participants. Our objective is to show our support and refer any resources as needs are identified.
• Each Saturday at 2 PM, TEEP hosts an Insta-live session on Instagram. As we get more feedback from participants and community members, we’ll continue to develop our virtual events to stay connected.

We have all been adjusting as best we can to the ever-changing landscape during the COVID-19 outbreak. We understand that the closure of schools, libraries, and community centers puts a tremendous strain on families. We are also aware that many folks are facing financial insecurity that could pose a risk to housing, food access, and of course, healthcare. While TEEP is a small program, we are part of a large network! Please don’t hesitate to reach out and let us know if you or anyone in your community is in urgent need of resources. We will do what we can with what have, and connect you to resources within our network. As always, our top priority is safety. Below is a link to The Other Boston’s “We All We Got: Surviving COVID-19” which is an effort to centralize access to information and resources.

Haremos lo que podamos con lo que tenemos y los conectaremos a recursos dentro de nuestra red. Como siempre, nuestra prioridad es la seguridad.
