Hi everybody,
Many younger volunteers follow Facebook or Instagram groups to find volunteering ideas and opportunities.
They share ideas, post questions, and let volunteer seekers know that they are available for short-term volunteering or longer-term volunteering. I do follow many of those groups. Just to keep track of what is happening in the 'international volunteering/gapyear' world.
But I also see many 'not so good' things. Voluntourism, shiny Instagram short-term volunteering aka photo shoots, helping orphanages/vulnerable children without awareness of the effects on the children and community, and so on.
I am sure we will have many talks about this in this community. ๐ฌ
But what I need your help with is reaching out to volunteers on other social media platforms like TikTok. I am not good at social media in general; I am trying to keep up with my kids (17 & 15), and I know that many volunteers aged 17-25 are not on Facebook, Instagram, or maybe even Skool.
Please share the About Page link wherever you see fit, or if you know a suitable platform in your respective countries ๐
All help is greatly appreciated!
