Collaborate

Technology is a new addition to the elder and disadvantaged care industry.  Beyond using facility computers for administrative tasks, residents and clients can also benefit from modern advancements.

New and experienced Activity and Recreation Professionals can advance the industry by becoming "Recreation-Technology Certified" with the assistance of Helpertunity.  

Rec-Tech Specialists focus on how to incorporate various technologies into an existing healthcare activity program, and how to work patiently with elderly and disabled clients.  

Continuing Education Courses, Rec-Tech Training Scholarships, and Technology Training Contact-Hour Participation Certificates are offered live or via online/distanced instruction.  Contact Eileen@Helpertunity.org  or call 407-234-4768 for details.   

And... remember to participate in #GAAD, including promoting elder and disabled persons' access to technology as a facet of accessibility -  on the Third Thursday of May each and every year:

Donors can contribute to Helpertunity in large and small ways, and every contribution really does make a big difference!  If you prefer to give small contributions, then consider participating in our "Play-It-Forward" sponsorship ticket drives.  These booklets of special color-coded sponsorship-tickets guarantee a child to WIN a plush toy prize for playing one of Helpertunity's free educational games at a community outreach event.   

Look for the bright Blue Helpertunity-Authorized "Play-It-Forward" Ticket Return-Envelope when supporting a participant who is taking part in this Helpertunity fundraiser.  The Blue Envelope is where our special participants, youth groups, individuals, and company teams record and track their "Play-It-Forward Ticket Sponsorship" progress, and record their contribution-collections; including donations made in cash, by check, or directly online, in order to earn their fundraiser particpation points and prizes.

Hosting an Activity-athon is a great way to advocate for the needs of elderly and disabled patients; to educate the community about Helpertunity, and to volunteer time and effort from the convenience of your own location.  Activity-athons are custom designed to fit the abilities and time commitment of you and your team.  Activity-athons can take place in one day, or over the course of multiple days, in which participants complete a chosen activity task at a healthy and self-selected pace.  

Participants can seek pledges and donations for their efforts, but fundraising is not required for participation.  Printable PDF Certificates will be supplied to the registering Team Captain.  Additional self-appointed incentives and festivities for your Team / Participants are encouraged. Official prizes may be awarded by Helpertunity, once funds have been submitted to the organization.  "Pledge & Activity-Tracking Envelopes" and "Donation Receipts" are located on the "How to Donate" Page of this site.  

Please Register your Facility or Team before beginning your Activity-athon.

Please call or e-mail Eileen Callejas directly at 407-234-4768 / Eileen@Helpertunity.org to complete the brief registration information.  Participation by Church and Civic Groups, Corporate Volunteer Teams, Facilities, Families, Partners, and Caring Individuals is encouraged.  Activity-athons were specially designed by Helpertunity so that elderly and disabled clients and participants can also enjoy and benefit from the event.

Helpertunity reaches out to the local community as the culminating part of their "Play-it-Forward" and "Bear-Care Clinics" projects.  Sponsored-Hosting of Helpertunity's Games at a Corporate Family Picnic, Class Reunion, or Civic Association Event is also a great way to support our Charity's work while also directly benefiting a company's or association's members or employees with fun and purposefulness.

Corporate sponsors are welcomed to assist Helpertunity in defraying the cost of conference and event booth-space, volunteer travel, presentation equipment, prize preparation and distribution, and more.  Provision of a booth structure, tables, and spaces are often required of the sponsoring host, while custom-designed games, booth decorations, and prizes can be provided by Helpertunity.

In exchange for corporate sponsorship, Helpertunity also offers professional-looking in-booth signage, collaborative person-to-person marketing, and online advertisement for donors, based on their preference and social-responsibility-recognition needs.  Contact Eileen directly at 407-234-4768 or e-mail at Eileen@Helpertunity.org to discuss sponsorship, co-sponsorship, and sponsor-marketing details.

"Projects" with Helpertunity are based on the interest of our disabled participants, and community supporters, to serve others in need.  Any person or team is invited to propose a "Project" to Helpertunity for consideration and collaboration.  Please review Helpertunity's "Our Projects" page posted on the website, to see if you might begin by supporting one of these efforts, before replicating or building a unique Helpertunity-Affiliated Project in your community.  Church and Civic Groups, Corporate Volunteer Teams, Care Facilities, Families, Partners, and Caring Individuals should Contact Eileen directly at 407-234-4768 or by e-mail: Eileen@Helpertunity.org with useful project proposals.
