Description Program Srvc Accom2020-21 was a test of our non-profit ability to flex, flow, and serve through the World Wide Pandemic that COVID-19 created. The world went into quarantine, safer at home, and many of the collaborations we had come to depend on for our program from volunteers, businesses, or educational organizations were not available. The church we had planned to rent from refused to rent space to our large youth programs for fear of COVID-19 with their elder population. Due to some high risk health issues or fear, many of our students, families, and staff did not return for services. We reduced our staff, services offered, hours of operation, location and rent to one day a week, and rolled with the pandemic. We succeeded in the end serving 49 students with 40 funded, renting the Colorado Outdoor Learning School Campus for one day a week while using a 200 sq. ft. cabin for all other SPRUCE Admin, Board, and Staff needs. SPRUCE purchased a 3.12 acre piece of property in Feb. to begin building our new building and permanent. We offered 12 classes, 24 Educational Events, accrued over $70,000 in savings, donations, or grants towards our capital campaign, and overall felt we had a great year! We learned valuable lessons about how important our non-profit is, our ability to flex in situations of stress, flow through exponential changes in daily operations and staff, and our unique ability to serve our participants through a world pandemic and be the direction that got them through it was such an honor for SPRUCE to experience. Our future is looking so great and we are happy to meet it one day at a time!DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
