Our goal is to determine if online activity and virtual communities can successfully inspire people to get active in the real world. There’s nothing to lose in joining these networks and it could turn out to be the best way to engage with a new generation of volunteers.
How does our new media sites differ from traditional media?
- Users are not passively ‘consuming’ media. They are participating.
- Social network users can create their own content.
- We consider that our online users don’t want to be lectured to. They want to make conversations and join debate.
- Most network users want to expand their contacts and “meet” new people.
- Users tend to collect together into small special interest groups.
What do we do on our online networks?
- Spread the message about the volunteering opportunities we have to offer.
- Encourage our current volunteers to engage in online conversations with others about the volunteer work they do for our organization.
- Give people the tools and information they need to get involved.
- Share volunteering experiences and inspire others to do the same.
- Our networks can help us engage 'hard to reach' communities.
