BGCEC and KidsCare are here to support kids, parents, and working families in our community. We are monitoring news from schools and the Elkhart County Health Department to respond as efficiently as possible to our community's changing needs.
BGCEC and KidsCare have a two-part plan to support families in the case of a full-time virtual start or a partial start. The current plans are as follows:
If schools begin in a virtual format:
- Boys & Girls Clubs & KidsCare will offer BGC Academy (an academics-focused program including e-learning support) from 5:30AM-5:30PM beginning August 17.
- Online instruction, staffing, COVID safety-protocols and coordination of food plans are in process.
- Registration information is coming soon. Watch social media (facebook.com/bgcelkhartcounty) and our website (greatfutures.club) for updates
If schools return to in-person instruction:
- Boys & Girls Clubs & KidsCare will return to 'Back2School' plans as previously advertised. Links to detailed schedules and registration forms are provided at GreatFutures.club/back2school.
Boys & Girls Clubs and KidsCare are in partnership with our schools who have the toughest job, which is to figure out how to educate our kids in unfamiliar times.
We are here to support our community's families and educators. Boys & Girls Clubs will do #WhateverItTakes to support our members and their families.
