Arizona Voices Of COVID-19: Boys & Girls Clubs In Phoenix

In The Show's Voices of COVID-19 series, we’ve heard from healthcare workers on the frontlines of this pandemic, as well as some of the hundreds of thousands of Arizonans who now find themselves unemployed.

This week, we turn to those who are still working — the so-called essential workers who are still on the job as the world around them has changed. We’ve heard from a journalist, a volunteer, a domestic violence shelter worker and a leader at a local Target.

To end the week, hear from Johana Lopez, the branch director at the Boys and Girls Club Palm Lane site. She is working with families and children on a daily basis to make sure there is a safe place for kids to go whose parents are also essential workers and can’t stay home.
