Where do you volunteer?  What groups or clubs do you belong to? Where do you donate money?

Perhaps you are involved with your church, your child’s school, your favorite charity, or maybe a service club or other organization.

One way you can help the entities where you volunteer is participate on that entity’s Facebook Page.  For example, you could post on your church’s Facebook Page that the minister gave an especially powerful sermon.

Or if your child’s parent teacher organization or your favorite charity is having a fundraiser, you can set that up as an event on the Facebook Page and invite your Facebook friends to come to that event.

One way to volunteer is to offer to set up a Facebook Page for the entities where you are a member and/or a volunteer. You will need to have a Facebook Profile before you can set up a Facebook Page.

Also, you will need to get the authorization from that entity to actually create its Facebook Page. Maybe someone else from the entity is the more appropriate person to be the lead administrator, and you can be a helper administrator. The administrators are those folks who manage the page and keep it updated.

Creating a Facebook Page is relatively easy, and Facebook provides loads of helpful tips on how to create and manage pages. Go to this link for more information: https://www.facebook.com/help/pages/about

To see an example of a Facebook Page set up for one of my Toastmasters clubs, just go to: https://www.facebook.com/messages/?action=read&tid=H4ciL1Vb5sz0pCHTkCRbSA#!/EveningStarsToastmasters?bookmark_t=page

We have found that people have “liked” our club’s page to get news of what is going on with the club, even if they aren’t members.

I would love to hear how you have been involved in Facebook Pages for nonprofit organizations.

Have you created them? Do you post on them? Have you used them to invite people to events? Please share your experiences.
