Week 9

This week at my internship I carried on the same responsibilities from previous weeks. These responsibilities were updating social media sites, creating a twitter calendar, and filing. While at this internship, I have came to realize how important social media is to organizations. Twitter and Pintrest have been the two social media sites that Big Brothers Big Sisters has entrusted me to keep updated.

Social media is important to Big Brothers Big Sisters because it helps bring volunteers together and allows potential volunteers insight into the organizations. Social media helps bring volunteers together because they are all apart of the same group, which helps create feelings of unity. I will post information about different events coming up on twitter, so everyone knows when and where to be for volunteer events.

In addition, social media provides potential volunteers with much information to see what Big Brothers Big Sisters is all about. When community members follow Big Brother Big Sisters through social media sites, they learn about the mission of the organization. Hopefully after learning about the mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters, they will volunteer and become a big sister or big brother. Also, I try to post things on social media that are uplifting and inspiration. The purpose behind this is to encourage those who see the posts. With how important social media is to this generation, it is pertinent that I keep up with the social media sites in such a way that more people will want to follow.
