Getting the most out of Be the Change
Try these three methods to increase your engagement on Be the Change and meet more volunteers. For general advice on digital and social media marketing, see our marketing resources.
Make a good first impression
Your summary and cover image are the first things potential volunteers will first see. Make sure to accurately reflect your activity and the impact it will have in language that centres the volunteer.
See below for examples.
Set clear expectations
In the detailed description of your opportunity, let volunteers know how they can apply and what their next steps will be after contacting you. You can also create a custom form to gather information directly through Be the Change.
Spread the word
Let your wider audience see and share your volunteering opportunities. Post about specific activities or use one of our social media assets. You can also embed opportunities to display on your website.
What makes a good listing?
Images and descriptions should be clear, engaging, and volunteer-centric.
