Over two weeks, observations were recorded during morning meetings, basketball, puzzle activities, and food pantry volunteering. Data focused on engagement, peer interaction, and the need for prompting. Results showed that structured and hands-on activities, such as morning meetings and food pantry work, led to higher engagement and more social interaction. Less structured activities, like puzzles, resulted in lower participation and more prompting. Overall, findings suggest that routine-based and meaningful group activities support stronger engagement and communication among clients in community programs.en-USPresentationEngagementInteractionParticipationStructureCommunicationCommunity
