Sketch Mates is soon to be a collection of simplified digital art tools, that folks of all ages and abilities can access while they are using group video chat tools. The first tool is a vintage chalkboard with 4 unique color palettes and comes complete with a game timer. Individual artists can draw and save their creations or friends can use the chalkboard to play drawing show and tell games.

Bottle Brick Builders Guild

In 2020 Helpertunity realized that all of its kit-packing projects were producing an excessive amount of plastic bags. So, the charity began looking for fun ways to recycle and upcycle waste plastics. Today, volunteers help hand pack plastic bottles with clean, dry plastic bags and wrappers. After turning these bottles into bricks they are used to make practical and decorative items.

Our friends from AmeriCorps RSVP have been crocheting covered abstract bottle people. They are being made to adorn a planned parade float in the coming year.

The bottle bricks have also been used to build obstacles, mazes and bot-ball arenas for creative cooperative team games with our friends from the Family Cafe Expo Events held in Orlando, Florida.
