We hope it was assumed before, but to be clear, Step Up to SIT stands firmly behind the BLM movement in all of its forms of protest. If you are looking for childcare in order to participate in peaceful protest, we offer our services to you! #blm #SayTheirNames
Tune in tomorrow with your kids!
Join us Monday at 7p/6c for #KidsTogether as we answer kids' questions and concerns about COVID-19 plus get tips and insights from medical experts

"The platform is simple, the concept is simple, and it's empowering young people to do their part. Nobody likes to feel helpless," Hannah Pittock, co-founder of @StepUptoSIT told Business Insider.

We just hit 80 student sign-ups! Thank you! Keep filling out the form, we will be putting out a big push to parents tomorrow, and we want to be able to meet their needs! Together, we can keep Rochester healthy and safe!
Remember that if parents can’t find childcare they’ll be forced to either stay home or send their children to crowded daycares. The first option reduces the strength of our community’s medical response and the second worsens the spread!
School cancellations put huge strain on parents trying to find last minute childcare. If you’d like to help, fill out this form! We will be matching students with families who need babysitters! bit.ly/StepUptoSIT
