2. Social Media Training for NonProfit Organisations and Social Media Seminars for Associations

Every 60 seconds, 13 hours of content are uploaded to YouTube and millions of tweets are generated every day. With so much content being created, how will one filter out what’s important? Through all this clutter, non-profit organizations face three challenges:

1st challenge: What do I say?: Determining content that will drive followers and recruit support requires serious thought and strategy.

2nd challenge: How much time should I be spending Tweeting or on Facebook?: Once you start with social media, you will find that there is a lot of content and it is easy to spend a lot of time going through it all. Non-profit organizations need an understanding of how they can coordinate staff and time resources to be most effective online without compromising their day-to-day operations.

3rd challenge: Staying organized: As one follows more folks on social networks, it is easy to forget who they are or why you decided to follow them.

4. Lobbying, Government Relations, and Advocacy Training for NonProfit Organizations and Associations

Whether you’re a seasoned activist, or only just starting to realize your potential for creating change, making the right moves when it comes to advocacy, lobbying, or government relations can be daunting. Advocacy for nonprofit organizations and associations is among the most critical aspects for NGO government relations. In fact, most associations exist to represent the issues of their industry and stakeholders. The choices of policy makers and heads of influential stakeholder groups are affected by advocacy, as are your members and supporters.

Effective advocacy (Advocacy Tools, Advocacy and Lobbying Training Materials) incorporates both practical and strategic activities, many NGO actions function on both of these levels simultaneously. Individual advocacy as well as larger scale formal advocacy of NGO's requires a strategy which is firm as well as diplomatic.

Action Strategies has put together some how-tos on engaging your MP and elected officials, working with your local media, and building a community coalition. The how-tos encompass the simple to the advanced and provide guidance on moving decision-makers toward becoming champions for your cause.
