Social Network Websites Volunteer
Project Overview
Action 21 recognises the new communication opportunities that social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter provide. We need volunteers to help us communicate with our volunteers, members and members of the public.
Volunteer tasks
• Researching for blogs or tweets.
• Posting and updating our blogs, tweets or posts on Facebook, Twitter, Blogspot and NING on a daily basis
• Liaising with Action 21 staff and volunteers
• Compiling a “contingency” 2 week store of blogs so that they can continue to be posted in the event of absence/illness of volunteer.
Skills/previous experience sought
• Basic computer literacy
• Working knowledge of the social networking site or blog you’d like to update
Benefits of volunteering:
• If you’re already hooked on social networking sites this volunteering opportunity might be just for you! Use your time to make a difference by communicating with people to tell them about Action 21 and about how they can live more sustainably.
• On the job training and support is provided, including review sessions to check you’re enjoying your volunteering placement and that your needs are being met.
• You’ll be part of the wider network of Action 21 volunteers, receiving regular updates and information on our projects and invites to our well attended volunteer socials
