and social health challenges during
the pandemic. " The main goal is to
keep them connected to their peers
because some of them feel invisible
and isolated, " says Leslie Yancey,
city of Baltimore Recreation and
Parks senior division program manager. " Participation in programming
has decreased, but we have also been
able to reach a new segment of older
adults. We provide different options
for joining our virtual offerings, offer
descriptive instructions ahead of the
classes for the activities we will do,
and our classes are live versus recorded, so that participants are getting the
connection they need and value. "

Considerations for Virtual
Programming
Here are a few questions to consider

to ensure you are creating both engaging and sustainable virtual offerings:
* Is the platform you use to host your
programs user friendly? Do you
need to create a how-to-join guide?
The resource " Tools for Reaching a
Remote Audience " may help with
that determination (tinyurl.com/
y8nt528l).
* How will you keep your participants engaged? The educational
videos, " Expert Insights on How
to Deliver an Online Exercise
Session: One-to-one and Group "
(tinyurl.com/y5ggx3w8)
and
" Creating a Sense of Community in Virtual Group Sessions "
(tinyurl.com/yymnkplx), might
be good places to start.
* Do you want to include music in
your videos to keep participants

engaged? Learn the legal aspects
through the video, " Music Licensing and Virtual Classes: Understanding the Law " (tinyurl.
com/y3hwhvqz).
* How will you make your virtual
offerings inclusive for people with
disabilities? Learn more from the
National Endowment for the Arts
(tinyurl.com/yxdyb7wg).
It is important now more than
ever that infrastructure and resources necessary for streamlining
these new virtual offerings and
services are in place. After all, it's
all about helping communities stay
healthy, happy and connected -
whether in person or remote.
