Schools have always needed all the help they could get, but this is even more true with the COVID-19 pandemic
We could all agree that COVID-19 has been a historic pandemic, but planning content for a yearbook has been a challenge for many schools. On top of that, schools are also having to deal with the financial burden of distance learning. How is it possible to design a yearbook with limited content? How will the cuts to school funding affect a yearbook design? Will students be safe when working on the yearbook together?
As the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we at Entourage had to quickly adjust to the situation. We were aware that many of our educators, like us, were feeling overwhelmed not only professionally but personally as well. With everything going on, it was clear yearbook projects would be affected. It was also clear that we had the responsibility to help the schools who were facing new challenges. That’s why we expanded a few different support programs to help meet your school’s needs.
Read below how Entourage Yearbooks is continuing to pave the way for the next generation through our yearbook support programs.
Special Projects Assistance (SPA)
Feeling a bit overwhelmed? Our Special Assistance Program offers book-building services. By simply uploading photos to your account, our team of designers can create your entire yearbook. From creating templates to creating portrait pages, this is a great way to help alleviate some of the stress and complexities that come with designing a yearbook. Don’t worry! You will still be able to request edits anytime. Our goal is to help you complete your project while you sit back and relax.

Next Generation Grant
With the financial strain that our current pandemic has caused, we continue to provide the opportunity for our schools to apply for extra funding. We are targeting to provide $50,000 in grants to help many of our schools. Whether it be for hand sanitizer, face masks or school supplies, you can submit your information to be qualified.
Here are few stories from a few of our schools that were presented with the Next Generation Grant:

COVID-19 Yearbook Support
Since March, we have shared a ton of online solutions for schools who need assistance during COVID-19. That’s why we created a directory of all of our new templates, virtual guides, and inspirational articles to help schools struggling to make their yearbook this year. You can also read stories and solutions from other advisors who are sharing how their schools are dealing with the pandemic. Find the exact type of support you need to create your yearbook, even during a year of uncertainty!
