Hello TGB members and interested parties,
Teens Give Back has always strived to be responsible community leaders working to help others in need. In light of our mission and in accordance to the latest CDC and governmental COVID 19 recommendations, the board of directors has decided we must cancel the planned March 29th member meeting and all service events at least through the end of this month. Most organizations have already cancelled gatherings on their end as well. We will continue to work within the imposed guidelines to develop a plan for finishing the year as best as possible. We are hopeful that in the months ahead we will be able to engage in the community again, but until then we must responsibly abstain from physical gatherings and onsite work.
We are considering remote or video meetings and also asking for members to consider ways for us to help those in need in the community while following the social distance and low number gathering recommendations. We do not want to put anyone in the community at risk and will adhere to the safety precautions. The unprecedented situation is an evolving one and changes are likely. Please stay current with our Remind, TGB Website home page, social media postings, and emails for updated information.
We realize the current practices may challenge hour completions for some and will address that as things progress. In the meantime, please go to the website and take this time to be sure all hours are up to date and logged. If you need assistance, let us know. If you have a creative way to assist in the community while following the limitations, we welcome suggestions!
We would like to still encourage those interested in our organization to stay tuned to our website and social media posts (join us on Instagram and Facebook). We will be working on membership registration and officer selection for the 2020-21 year as time progresses.
Please minimize your risks of exposure and think creatively about how we could assist our community members in need with these limitations.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
Noelle Manasco
