Though covid-19 pandemic interrupted services, Hispanic umadaop provided two prevention programs. Hispanic alcohol and Drug Program is a 10-week or yearlong school-basedalcohol/drugs prevention education curriculum for Hispanic and other elementary, middle and high school scholars in the cleveland metropolitan school district. The scholars received prevention education services and were able to perceive substance use as risky and/or harmful. La mariposa girls empowerment is a gender-specific 12 session afterschool relationship connection, social-emotional, and character skills development curriculum for Hispanic and other girls, ages 9-18 years. The participants successfully completed the Program. Parents reported improvement in developing healthy interpersonal andsocial/emotional skills with peers, siblings/parents, and school engagement. During covid-19, prevention staff kept families updated with pertinent and understandable covid-19 information and community resources via facebook, humadaop website, and zoom webinar sessions. In collaboration with cleveland metro school district and cleveland umadaop, prevention staff delivered daily school lunches and/or food commodities to food-insecure individuals.
