Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Teen Center still open? A: Rocksolid Community Teen Center operates based on the academic calendar as determined by the school districts we serve. Our doors closed mid-March and will stay closed for the remainder of the school year in accordance with a recent announcement issued by Chris Reykdal, Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Please check back in summer for an anticipated reopen date.
Q: Can teens still participate in the program remotely? A: Yes! Although we cannot meet in-person, Rocksolid continues to offer teens opportunities to engage and learn online. Contact Marcy Sprecher to learn more: marcy@rocksolid-teen.com.
Q: Will Rocksolid host summer camps and other activities this year? A: We are closely monitoring the situation and will release summer activity schedules once health officials have determined it’s safe for groups to gather again.
Q: Are Rocksolid staff still working? A: To ensure continuity in the operations of the program, a limited number of staff are still working (remotely when possible).
Q: Has Rocksolid applied for government grants or payroll tax credit programs? A: Yes. Given the financial realities of these trying times, Rocksolid is pursuing federal, state and local grants and payroll credit programs to ensure the continued baseline operations of the center including an SBA Disaster Grant (EIDL), a Working Washington Small Business Emergency Grant, and Employee Retention Credits.
Q: When is the rescheduled date for the 2020 auction? A: Washington State Governor Jay Inslee extended the statewide ‘Stay Home Stay Healthy’ order through May 4 with additional extensions likely. We’re exploring possible dates in late summer/fall for a rescheduled auction, but are unable to confirm details until public health officials allow groups to gather again. We will announce a rescheduled date as soon as able. All tickets purchased for the previously date will be transferable to the rescheduled auction date.
Q: Who do I contact if I have additional questions? A: Rocksolid Executive Director Marcy Sprecher is available by email at marcy@rocksolid-teen.com or by phone at 360.771.5519.
