Since the pivot to virtual experiences, our goal has always been to replicate the immersive experience of our Excursions in our scholars homes to the best of our abilities. Overcoming challenges in real-time, like finding local, healthy food partners for lunch orders and ensuring stable internet connectivity for our scholars, gave us a deeper understanding of the communities we serve. From all this change, one thing has stayed the same: These kids never cease to amaze us, said Greg Root, OLASTEO Board Member.

Advocates for the incarcerated insist they can go farther.
Groups like the Katal Center for Equity, Health and Justice and the ACLU of Connecticut have clamored for large-scale releases to protect inmates from catching COVID-19 in a correctional facility, where social distancing is virtually impossible and medical care has historically been strained. Their demands underscore a fast-growing urgency: Three incarcerated people have died from COVID-19 since Dec. 17.
