My Possibilities COVID-19 Healthy and Safety Plan for Reopening
As we continue to navigate COVID-19 and the constant ramifications, we want to provide an update on how My Possibilities is protecting our HIPsters and staff. We are committed to providing a measured, safe, and informed health and safety plan that continues to protect the health and safety of our HIPsters and staff.
Throughout our temporary closure, our staff worked diligently to plan for a safe return for all. Families were surveyed to assess their HIPster’s needs, questions, and concerns, and their desired timeline to return to Campus. Additionally, we have created a health and safety plan to guide us throughout the evolving pandemic. The plan adheres to state guidelines as well as CDC recommendations for social distancing, cleaning, and protective equipment protocol. While we have welcomed many HIPsters back, we are not yet at full capacity.
This reopening is an important step for MP, our HIPsters, their families, and our staff. It is also an important step for our Champions who support the ongoing work we do to courageously and relentlessly pursue the full, untapped possibilities of our HIPsters, making every day count. We thank all the individuals, corporations, and foundations that stepped up to provide resources while we were closed. Your commitment to MP is something we do not take for granted, but it is also something we will continue to need as we move forward.
This crisis hit us all hard. While MP continues to weather the storm, the impacts of our closure will remain indefinitely. We incurred a financial shortfall due to our inability to run our traditional programs and receive State funds. We canceled a major fundraiser and postponed and reimagined another. We also had to push back the groundbreaking of our newest building to expand our work and house our Career Services programming; however, we know the future of MP is bright. We look forward to the day we can welcome you all back to campus in person, to feel the love you have for MP and our HIPsters in a tangible way, and give you a fist bump, high five, or even a hug as soon as we can.
