Boys & Girls Clubs of Schenectady and COVID-19 (Coronavirus)
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Schenectady has been very carefully tracking the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and the impact it is having in our country.
It is of the utmost importance to our organization that we help keep our children, teens, families and staff safe. As a result, we have worked to put in place some strategies to help prevent any spread of the virus. We are working in conjunction with the school districts as well as consulting with the Schenectady County Public Health Services to help ensure that we are doing everything we can to keep everyone safe.
