E4 Youth & COVID-19
We are currently planning to conduct our program remotely at the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year because of the COVID-19 health crises. However, depending on how the universities and public schools respond will depend on whether or not we meet in person. Before the pandemic, we were meeting at the University of Texas Campus in the Jesse H. Jones building, and sometimes at Capital Factory, which is located in downtown Austin. Your safety is our priority so we will make those decisions as we move forward in the new school year.
