The CARE Collective: Culturally-Sustaining And Responsive Engagement During COVID-19

Latinx children and families in Sonoma County are deeply and disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, as are black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) across our nation and world. The CARE Collective connects educators and community organizations via virtual panels and facilitated conversations, and provides an opportunity to learn about culturally-sustaining and responsive resources for serving students and families during the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARE Collective will specifically focus on building and sharing knowledge related to supporting students and families in the three following areas: physical safety, emotional connection, and academic learning.

The CARE Collective will share and build knowledge related to how to support students and families in three key interrelated areas:

  • Physical Safety- COVID-19 prevention and treatment, food security, safe housing, domestic abuse prevention, and support, and other related matters.

  • Emotional Connection- mental health resources for children and adults, nurturing authentic relationships between students, families, and educators, and other related matters.

  • Academic Learning- access to instructional technology and resources, teaching and learning strategies, English language development, and other related matters.
