COVID AND SUMMER STEWARDS
As with everything in life, Summer Stewards will be impacted by COVID-19. We cannot predict the future, but we are planning for the 2022 Summer Stewards to meet outdoors in person as much as possible this summer. Summer Stewards and staff will be asked to commit to following safety protocols at all times. These will include properly wearing face masks (we can provide if you don’t have them), maintaining physical distance, regular handwashing, and other safety and sanitation procedures. Some portions of the program may take place remotely over Zoom if there are significant rises in infection rates.
