Being proactive is a great way for youth to positively react to current news. If the young person in your life is showing an interest in today’s events, encourage him or her to sign up for a civics or history class, join the class cabinet or pursue a career in political science.

Just like our bodies, our brains need a daily workout. Enjoy better memory and cognitive skills as you age by enjoying a brain teaser, trivia, crossword or word search. #NationalPuzzleDay

There is no better time than the present to take a look back at history. Help the youth in your life better understand the rights and wrongs of current events. https://t.co/lqg08DFq3h

Small businesses are facing unprecedented times. As they struggle to stay afloat during the pandemic, we encourage you to help them find ways to stay engaged with the community. #GlobalCommunityEngagementDay

Times are anything but traditional, so it’s important to build in some time for fun, whether it’s with your co-workers through Zoom or those who are back in the office. Spending a little time “off the clock” can create a healthier working environment. #NationalHaveFunatWorkDay

We understand that there is a lot going on in the world lately and the news may be permanent background noise for your home. But for the sake of the youth in your life, it’s important to disconnect from the media to better connect with each other. https://t.co/lqg08DX1rR

Today, on #InternationalDayofCommemorationinMemoryoftheVictimsoftheHolocaust, we’re taking a moment to remember the 6 million Jews who were lost at the hands of the Nazi regime and its collaborators.

Where are our book lovers at? Today is #LibraryShelfieDay and we couldn’t be more happy to encourage you to nurture your love of the written word than by heading to the library.

If you’re looking from an escape from the news of the world (we all need to shut down sometimes), there is no shame in streaming your favorite show or snuggling up with a good book for a few hours. #CheckingOutCanBeAGoodThing

For the youth of our great nation, we can’t help but wonder how they’re processing the events that took place at the Capitol Building on January 6. Taking some time to discuss can help everyone in your household heal. https://t.co/lqg08DX1rR

Studies show that families that break bread together are healthier, happier and more connected. Celebrate #NationalSundaySupperMonth by enjoying a good meal and great conversation.

Our country continues to fight for the freedom that is envious to other nations, but on January 6, 2021, the actions of thousands of rioters were nothing to be proud of. Violence is never acceptable. https://t.co/lqg08DX1rR

January is #NationalSoupMonth and there’s no better way to show your elderly neighbors that you care than by dropping off a hearty meal that can easily be reheated. So many are facing isolation and loneliness because of this pandemic. #ShowYouCare

[LEAP Foundation DC @LEAPFDC]

This week, we’re celebrating #NationalSchoolChoiceWeek, which can empower parents and students to achieve their dreams by allowing every family to choose the K-12 educational options that best fit their children’s needs.

[LEAP Foundation DC @LEAPFDC]

YOUTH! Don’t forget that you have the power to steer your future in the right direction. #WorkHard #UseYourResources #GoAfterIt

If you’re a sophomore or older, it’s a great time to consider where your talents lie. Following a path to an occupation that not only brings you success, but joy, as well, means hard work comes naturally.

[LEAP Foundation DC @LEAPFDC]

If learning from home is difficult, following a regular routine could help. Make sure you’re going to bed and setting the alarm for the same time each night and day. Your brain will benefit. https://t.co/IoDHXKVhMs

It can be so easy to become disconnected from others when we’re confined to our homes and no longer physically interacting with others, but it’s important to stay connected with peers to discuss goals, ambitions and difficulties. https://t.co/IoDHXKDGUU

It might be Thursday and your schedule may be filled with Zoom meetings, but it’s also #InternationalSweatpantsDay. If working and learning in sweatpants is possible for you, we say celebrate the little things.
