Free, Fun Recommendations To Keep Kids (and Maybe Caregivers, Too) Entertained and Prevent Summer Learning Loss – Week 9
For this final week of summer enrichment, I am recommending games and activities from a variety of sources. The educational games and online activities may not work on all devices or browsers. You may have to create a free account in order to use them or to save your child’s progress. I have included these resources with the hope of encouraging children to practice what they have already learned, but often on the pages I linked to, there will be links to further resources so children can review what they’ve learned or learn more. Please email me at charityawareness@commonheart.org with questions or comments.
This is the last week of summer enrichment posts, but you can go back to the old posts at any time. The sites I have shared don’t just have games. You and your child can explore the websites for activities, worksheets, and videos and help understanding concepts.

Common Heart also needs more volunteers to pack food for their food pantries. The biggest needs right now are Tuesdays & Fridays from 3-5 p.m. to pack food for our evening pantries. They’re also looking for more grocery rescue volunteers to pick up donated food from local grocery stores, especially on Sundays. They also need substitutes to fill in on an as-needed basis. There are many other volunteer opportunities, too.

Turning Point
Help create a memorable summer and beyond for shelter families by becoming a Turning Point volunteer! Join a volunteer orientation on either Tuesday, June 4th, from 10am-11:30am or Monday, June 17th, from 6-7:30pm in Monroe. You’ll learn about all the ways to serve abuse survivors. Exact location will be sent to you a few days in advance. Sign up at the link or reach out to Mary with questions! moakley@turntoday.net Volunteer Orientation Sign Up
Turning Point also needs some very special volunteers for their Sexual Assault Resource Center. These “Companions” respond to individuals in crisis by picking up “on-call” shifts.
Companions accompany a sexual assault victim through their crisis, via telephone or hospital visit. When a crisis call comes in, a companion speaks with the crisis caller, listens to them, and helps them think through their options. In a hospital call, a companion meets a sexual assault victim at the hospital to accompany them throughout their time there. This is an opportunity to support the community, your community members, and to serve someone in need of companionship.
Companions do not have to go into these crisis moments feeling ill-prepared, as Turning Point has created an online, self-paced training module that walks companions-in-training through a variety of situations that they may encounter. The training modules all together take about 20 hours to complete. Questions about this volunteer position can be directed to the SARC Victim Advocate, Madison Lindenmuth. mlindenmuth@turntoday.net
