Fellow Site Post: Checking in with Conner at the Greater Chicago Legal Clinic around how her work has shifted amidst the pandemic.

"Myself and my organization have adapted to fulfill our mission by going from a primarily in-person service to completely online. Before, clients would come to our office in the Daley Center, generally sent by the judge directly after their court hearing. There we’d be able to assist and advise them as needed. Now, the process isn’t quite as seamless with Zoom hearings and trying to get the information out that we’re still open. The supervising attorney has worked hard to pivot and now I make initial phone calls and gather all relevant information. Then she follows-up with an email(s) or phone call(s) to impart the necessary legal advice."

Fellow Site Post: Checking in with Hugh at @tallerdejose around how his work has shifted amidst the pandemic.

"Taller de José's mission is accompaniment and being available to clients outside of the typical office space. As such, we've had to adjust given the circumstances of the pandemic. TDJ continues to provide accompaniment in different ways, providing technology support for Zoom court hearings, over-the-phone assistance with public benefits applications, rental assistance, and more. I am so proud of the way TDJ has responded to the pandemic!"

Fellow Site Post: Checking in with Christine at @girlsinthegame around how her work has shifted amidst the pandemic.

"We've been working remotely, with all of our Girls in the Game programming going virtual. Still, the girls have the chance to show us their personal lives, and, in a way, it feels like we get to build deeper relationships faster than in person."

Fellow Site Post: Checking in with Lexie at @olthighschool around how her work has shifted amidst the pandemic.

"Remote learning has been a challenge for teachers and students alike, but the community at Tepeyac has risen to that challenge in order to see the young women succeed. By utilizing the technology we have, teachers have the means to meet individually with remote learners to provide the support that students would receive in a "normal" year. The staff has been going above and beyond every day to reach all of our students and develop them to their full potential. It's been incredibly inspiring to become part of a team that cares so deeply for the girls."

"The Kovler Center's mission is centered on human dignity through health, healing, justice, and opportunity. The Kovler Center has adapted to protect their staff and participants by being completely virtual. Human connections are fostered through teams of participants and staff speaking together to discuss multifaceted solutions."

Fellow Site Post: Checking in with Lauren at @ccofchicago around how her work has shifted amidst the pandemic.

"We still accompany people as they struggle to find jobs or pay rent - just over the phone instead of across a desk. I know people by their voices, and they know me by mine. We can still hear each others' kindness, fear, gratitude, concern . . . all the important things to connect as one human to another."

Fellow Site Post: Checking in with Monica at @arrupe_chicago around how her work has shifted amidst the pandemic.

"A few years ago, Arrupe created the Arrupe Market, a food pantry, as a resource to support students experiencing food insecurity. This year, it is the only in-person service Arrupe can safely offer to students. I now work at the pantry weekly, packaging student orders and bringing them outside to students as they arrive for pick up. The market has also expanded to offer its services to all Loyola University students as well as Arrupe students."

A week ago today, before the fellows departed for

A week ago today, before the fellows departed for their winter retreat, McKinley Park House was turned into a mini Covid-19 vaccination site. With the City of Chicago prioritizing groups living in congregate settings, we are excited to confirm that all 16 fellows and a few of our elderly friends received the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccination. We are incredibly grateful to vaccinate our fellows, many of whom are working alongside organizations directly serving some of our city's most at-risk communities. This was a historic moment for our program and one that comes with a continued responsibility to take all the necessary precautions to mitigate the spread. Amate House will continue to abide by all federal and state guidelines to ensure the safety of our fellows, staff, and communities we work with.
