| WE WANT YOUR HOLIDAY VIDEOS!! |

Submit a Video for our Kids and Families!
We are calling on all our ATPF Interns and Volunteers to submit Thanksgiving, Fall, Christmas, Hanukkah, and Winter Craft Videos to share with our kids and families. These videos can be 1-5 minutes long. Watch this video, by Intern Abby, for a good example:
|
| | Easy LIT-UP Halloween Craft |
The ideal format would be:
1. Warm welcome to ATPF Families
2. Professional Introduction of yourself - "My name is ____ and I am a volunteer with ATPF"
3. High energy when explaining activity
*Bonus: use visuals of the activity if you can!
Here is our Youtube account with ALL our ATPF At Home videos to date for inspiration: ATPF At Home Videos

ZOOM PICTURE TAKING TIPS FOR VOLUNTEERS
|
|
Thank you to all our volunteers who are signing up for our virtual program events! Here are some great tips on how to take pictures of our virtual events:
In order to take photos of events, we would like to have ONLY screenshots of the zoom sessions, not a picture of the screen.
Photo Taking Instructions:
- If you cannot take a screenshot on your computer, use your phone
- Make sure to swipe to gallery view (the phone will only show 4 people at a time) and continue to swipe and screenshot to get photos of everyone
- Hide yourself (optional) and non-video participants
- To hide yourself, turn off your video
- Click on the 3 small dots in upper right hand corner of anyone who has their video off → select "hide non-video participants"
- Switch off taking gallery-style photos and individual photos of the kids/speakers
- Try to ask for one photo of everyone smiling at the camera (use gallery view) at beginning or end of event/meeting
How to take Screenshots:
- On MAC: press Command + Shift + 4 → then click and drag over area you want to screenshot → release to take photo
- On PC: Press the PRT SC or "Print Screen" button at the top of your keyboard
