Happy Tuesday, everyone! CRIS Community Connectors has launched a fall drive looking to collect warm winter supplies and card/board games for anybody who may want them in the coming months! Currently, we are partnered with Cardinal Health and the Multicultural Center/ Hagerty Hall office within Ohio State- who all have donation bins set up in/outside their offices. Alternatively, if you are not able to make it out and still would like to help there is a QR code included on the flyer- which will bring contributions directly to our Venmo.

All it takes is one vote! You can vote daily between now and 2:00 pm on July 31st.

Each year, Major League Soccer and Wells Fargo recognize individuals who use soccer as a tool to make a difference in their community. Know a community leader making a difference?

Middle and High Schoolers have so much to think about, from classes to job hunting, social life, and family.

Imagine the added stress of your classes not being taught in your native language. The stress of having no connections in the workforce and no one to talk to about exploring careers. Imagine you left your support system in a different city, and your family relies on you to be a translator, a source of income, or to be responsible for younger siblings.

This is what many children of New American families experience as they are acclimating to a new environment. We aim to provide them with critical skills needed to succeed, and give them the opportunity to just be a kid.

Community Connectors was created with the philosophy that it only takes one.

One person to make one meaningful connection that can change the entire experience our newest Americans have here. One act that ripples beyond where we can see. That's how we create a sense of belonging and hope.

See the power of One.
