Shier and Handy (2015) say that nonprofits can generate social change by using the three levels of built-in advocates already found in their organizations. In a simplified outlook of the hierarchy of a non-profit, there is a board member, a staff member, and a program participant. They all have skill sets and connections that appeal to the intersections of society that they each inhabit and can influence (Sojung & Nam-Hyun. 2016). It is essential in the communication and marketing strategies for advocating to continue programs for homeless individuals. There is the correct social media exposure using appropriate material to move this organization forward. These are how they can use specific social media outlets to progress their partnership:
Facebook page for BAHS (Bay Area Homeless Services) and partners: daily updates of the progress of the organization’s meetings, decisions made about the partnership, pictures, access to more homeless youths by providing all the information pertinent to finding assistance. The blog can also have testimonials from homeless youth who are being helped and moved on and out of the cycle due to the programs.
Instagram/Twitter: This will include connecting with renowned programs with a social media presence and asking questions about any programming issues or obstacles they may have faced or are facing. It will be used as a forum for the BAHS to liaise and reach a wider audience (Sojung & Nam-Hyun. 2016).Â
These advocates will connect their social circles via these four social media channels. To use any more outlets would spread the social media volunteer too thin, and there will be a lack of control over information. Using these avenues, allows the community to contribute to assisting BAHS in the continuity of their programs, provide jobs, and even volunteer to teach clients new skill sets.
