While the chapter is looking for a leadership team~ Chicktime Akron Founder, Jessica, lined up a couple of workshops for September. One at the boys shelter and one at the girls shelter.
Feburary Update:
We had so much fun Saturday at Safe Landing.
I’m not sure if my stomach was in pain from laughing so much or from the sugar. After dinner, we made ourselves a Valentine’s Day card. To remind ourselves of self worth and self care. They all turned out so beautiful!!
Followed by cookie decorating, followed by an impromptu parking lot race. We needed to get some energy out!!!! I was proud of them!

April Update:
. Special thanks to our event leader today, Dannielle Mack, for supplying these kids with your love and the supplies!
February Update:
Our February event was amazing! We had the kiddos paint the trees they seem themself as, since we also are constantly changing, growing, and our roots are grounded. All of the trees came out very differently, showing them that everyone grows differently and that’s ok! We also had three AMAZING volunteers today. Chicktime Akron is forever grateful for our community 
July Update:
Our July workshop was all about a little weird science. We made homemade lava lamps and compared the reaction to hot vs cold. We ate a little pizza and played a little basketball. The kids were so excited that we even wanted to play with them.
The little things.
Just showing up.
It matters.
January Updates:
We dropped off our January vision boards workshop! It’s a bummer when we forget to take lots of pictures of our monthly workshops . We want everyone to see the work we do at Safe Landing in hopes you will help us one month . We are always looking for someone to lead a workshop, help with supplies or snacks, or show up to help us put on the workshop when we are able to be back on campus!

October Update:
Our first in person workshop back since Covid hit was canceled. The Leadership team
was so looking forward to being back at Safe Landing, but the cancellation circumstances were beyond our control. We feel grateful that we get the opportunity to be on campus again in November and December and then the goal is for all to be back in January.
Chicktime Akron drop off donations of crafts and games have been a blessing .
September Update:
We miss getting to know all the girls we get to serve. COVID has impacted all of us, but it can’t stop us from ding-dong-ditching some crafting/art supplies and pizza! ???? ???????? We had so much fun shopping for the girls that we didn’t remember to take many photos, but just a few of the things we delivered were:
Canvases
Paint
Tie-dye kits
Anime drawing book
Bubbles (come on, we all love bubbles)
DIY Face Mask kit
Summer tote bags
And a lot more!!
We’re grateful for anyone and everyone who has made donations, big and small. Thank you for empowering us to serve our Akron community!
Hey Chicktime Akron! We hope you are all doing well! We won’t be meeting in May as we continue to try to limit the risk of illness to our Chicktime girls! We hope to be back in June, but in the meantime I just wanted to share a few thoughts….
…I am lucky enough to have an aunt who lives right on the ocean in Florida. After my aunts household and my household both home quarantined for 2 weeks, my daughter, Kylie and I drove down to quarantine together. While here, I kept thinking of our Chicktime girls and how much Rachael, Kylie, and I all miss being with them. I loved the inspirational rock idea, and I pull so much energy and revitalization from the ocean. So! I created inspirational sand and shell jars for our girls. We will write a letter for the house to read to the girls, and ask them to pick a word they identify with or want more of, and use the power of the sand and shells to help give them the strength to become the person they want to be. I can’t wait to drop these off to our girls with some pizza! Even more so, I can’t wait until we can see them again!!

December Update:
Oh man did we have fun today at our holiday party!! We made snow globes and lanterns, had a delicious holiday meal, played the present pass game, and opened gifts with our girls today.
It is always so amazing spending the few hours bringing excitement and joy to these young girls every month. ????♥️
November Update:
We honored our military at Chicktime making Paracord bracelets to send overseas today and had so much fun doing it! Right after Jessica and her daughter went down to meet the Dayton chapter for some fun and games. Chicktime Akron is so proud to be part of such a strong sisterhood of chapters helping girls and women across the country. ????♥️????
October Update:
????Special thank you to our leader Hema for giving us the gift of henna today.
Our girls had so much fun getting their henna designs…
Look at the details!
Our volunteers had so much fun learning and playing a new card game called bumper with the girls! So many smiles and laughs shared today. ????
August Update:
Today was so fun! We made a bunch of origami projects – from foxes (and boxes) to flowers! #chicktime
June Update:
This weekend we had a great time making decorated letters, washi necklaces and hanging out with the girls. Always a positive and rewarding experience. ???? #chicktime
December Update:
Today we made empowerment jars.
We found words that related to us from magazines and created jars to store things in.
Some girls are storing candy, some said money, others said they would write something nice about themselves or someone they love every day to review at the end of the year.
We love our Chicktime girls!!
Earlier this week we got to meet the founder of Chicktime, Lori Rhodes.
We had a wonderful time and we have so many great things ahead for Chicktime Akron!
Lori’s vision for Chicktime Chapters in every group home across the Nation is breathtaking!
The Chicktime website has details on how that vision got started and we encourage you to read it and join us here in Akron as we carry out the mission!
April Update:
Chicktime Akron had our first successful event today!!!
We planted pallet veggie gardens. Our girls are homeless between 16-22. Now we have planted cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, watermelon, and cantelope for them to have healthy options to eat this summer! We had a little pizza party also!
