Making Games for Seniors
The Adult Day Center (ADC) at the J has been providing quality full-day programming for adults for nearly 40 years. Our participants include seniors and other adults with Alzheimer’s disease/dementia, brain injuries, cognitive or physical disabilities, or diseases that result in the need for a supported environment. The center is always looking for fun games to engage our participants. We are currently hoping for volunteers to help with these ideas (but other ideas are definitely welcome): Design and create a Jeopardy Game Board Design and create a Mini-Golf Course (3-6 holes or more) Record simple, step-by-step How-To videos for using smartphone apps Develop and record a "Passion Presentation" Select a topic that you are interested in or passionate about then create and deliver a virtual presentation around that topic. The work should be done off-site. We will make arrangements for drop off.

Donation Drives
If you're looking for a virtual way to support Cornerstone Center for Early Learning, consider hosting a Donation Drive! You can host a drive for any number of in-demand items to donate to the center, such as diapers, classroom supplies, toys, household items, and more. We’d be most thankful for your generosity. This is a completely virtual volunteer opportunity. All Donation Drives take place off-site, and the location, orchestration, and duration of the drives is entirely determined by the drive hosts, on behalf of Cornerstone Center. The delivery of the items will be arranged with Cornerstone Center for Early Learning directly. If in-person contact is required to facilitate the item drop-off, the following guidelines will be adhered to as necessary. In light of COVID-19, we are asking all volunteers to wear masks and to social distance when present at the Cornerstone facilities. When volunteers arrive, we will take their temperature. For the protection of volunteers, staff, and children alike, volunteers are not permitted to have direct contact with children or staff. If necessary, only one volunteer will be allowed in the building at a time, and their indoor access will be limited to sections of the Cornerstone facility where there are no children present.
