Today we continue our deeper dive into explaining how some local agencies and initiatives are maintaining, surviving, and continuing to serve in a COVID-19 world.

We'll get a crash course on why diapers matter especially during this coronavirus emergency, and learn how and why you should reach out and help the Diaper Bank of CT.

Then we'll check in with AARP CT to learn about a robust new online resource  'AARP Community Connections,' and a few other important initiatives AARP is working on.

And we'll replay a recent interview with the new CEO of Boys and Girls Village, serving more than 800 clients from over 50 communities in at-risk situations.

We'll engage the new Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer at the University of New Haven - Lorenzo Boyd - who also heads up the UNH Center for Advanced Policing, for the first of a couple of conversations we're planning around police practices, movements to de-fund police agencies, and the crossover points where racial diversity intersects with community policing.

Then we'll talk arts and humanities with the director of CT Humanities - and find out how this decades old agency is reinventing itself as a digital and community resource, while supporting and funding intriguing programs and projects across the state.

And we'll close with our partners at the CT Coalition Against Domestic Violence. If anything, the COVID pandemic has made things harder for the thousands of intimate partner and domestic abuse victims across Connecticut, so we'll touch base and get a snapshot of what's been happening in terms of prevention and response over the past few months.

Meet a Connecticut cultural anthropologist talking about a survey he completed that illustrates how COVID-19 will permanently transform consumer culture — and ways family relationships and values changed during quarantine.

Then we'll catch up with the President of Goodwin University to hear how his institution is partnering with Sacred Heart University and the Paier College of Art to work with the University of Bridgeport creating a new model for higher education.

And we'll close on the serious subject of distracted driving with the founder and an incoming UConn student scholar promoting Project Yellow Light - helping teens and young adults reach their peers with potentially life saving messages about safe driving through a creative scholarship initiative.
