Dear Central Florida Urban League Community: 

With all the uncertainty and fear that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has caused, the Central Florida Urban League wanted to assure our network that we are taking the appropriate steps to address this crisis.

Our team has devised an agency-wide response plan that follows the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), local health agencies and government officials.
It is our goal to provide a safe and healthy environment for our staff, board members, volunteers, clients and guests.

Response Plan:

In keeping with the CDC’s three-tiered risk-assessment for community organizations, we will adhere to the following: 

Level 1- Preparedness (Sporadic Transmission Level) 
CFUL Response: Monitoring and Education 

  • Inform staff and the general public regarding the level of threat to our local community along with preventative measures;
  • Engage in workplace illness prevention for employees by encouraging common-sense health precautions recommended by CDC;
  • Increase the frequency of office cleanings.  

Level 2 - Minimal/Moderate (Cluster Transmission Level) 
CFUL Response: Social Distancing 

  • Implement a "social distancing" policy that will stop or slow the spread of highly contagious diseases. Our social distancing response may include reduced exposure to high-traffic events and limited attendance at community gatherings and events;
  • Expand access for team members to work remotely; 
  • Prepare team members and the community for the potential transition to a virtual service delivery model (Level 3), which may include canceling face-to-face meetings, events and case management. 

Level 3 - Substantial (Population Transmission Level) 
CFUL Response: Virtual Service Delivery 

  • The Central Florida Urban League's office will close to the public. Programs and service delivery will be conducted virtually.
