Adult Education Programming - Protocols
As a science-based nonprofit we follow the guidelines provided by state and national health authorities to help keep you, our staff, volunteers and our entire community safe. In addition to our regular safety measures, we have developed the following protocols based on the guidelines from the CDC and NC Department of Health and Human Services. If you have questions or concerns about our new programming protocols, please contact Andrea Funk.
