SocialChangeCamp takes Manhattan
Saturday, September 26, 2009 marks the launch of the inaugural SocialChangeCamp NYC, a partnership between Social Media for Social Change (SM4SC), Grassroots.org and the Grassroots Web Meetup.
The event will bring together the best and brightest of the New York social media scene and create a space where their skills and knowledge are accessible to a wide array of non-profits, charities, public organizations, museums and NGOs. Through a series of panels and discussions, attendees will address the diverse ways in which organizations are using social tools to reach a new generation of donors and fundraisers, as well as recruiting volunteers, building community, inspiring grassroots movements, and facilitating effective advocacy. The goal is to make these tools and techniques accessible to organizations that are new to social media, as well as to present new challenges and opportunities to people already immersed in the social media scene.
Tickets are available online at http://socialchangecamp.eventbrite.com and are just $10, which includes admission, a camp shirts and materials, and breakfast.
Student tickets are available for $7 with valid, current ID. A limited number of tickets are available free to the NYU community by emailing scps.marketing.pr@nyu.edu.
The camp is being hosted by New York University’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies and is further made possible donations from ActiveCause.com, Bite PR, Chris Brogan, DonorsChoose.org, EventBrite, HUGE, Inc., Polyprintdesign, and Storenvy.
