Welcome! We’re thrilled to be here and to share some great FREE Tech tools that help you people-power your organization!
I’m Delia troy and I’m the VP of Partnerships at VolunteerSpot - & this is our founder & Ceo – Karen Bantuveris.
If you like what we’re sharing today, please connect with us on Twitter and let us know – we’re @VolunteerSpot. (also Facebook.com/VolunteerSpot).
Change.Org is one of my personal favorite tools for advancing your mission – How many of you have SIGNED a Change.Org petiion? (Raise your hand – see if anyone else does and call for an example.) How about initiated one? (ask for an example – or share THIS You may have heard of this recent petition where LEGO was influenced into launching a female scientist series. In my school district, a Change.org petition was very helpful in saving middle school music programs.
Whatever the cause you care about – you can launch a petition and invite your supporters to sign – and what’s great is you invite THEM to invite their friends – who can then Opt In to your communicaions.
It works because you engage your base and their friends via social media – and reporters love Change.Org – it’s great story food because it quantifies the interest.
When you sign – they send actual letters to lawmakers.
SO – that’s two tools for advancing your mission – VolunteerSpot and Change.Org – NEXT, Karen is going to talk about Social Media – Karen…
