At Mashable we see individuals around the world use social media to benefit their communities through fundraising drives, viral videos telling moving stories and awareness campaigns.
Mashable would like to invite our community to join the social good movement by taking part in a Mashable Meetup on Social Good Day, Sept. 21, coinciding with the Social Good Summit. At these meetups, we hope, our community of like-minded individuals will discover fresh and innovative ways to use social media to create awareness and solutions.
Mashable Meetups for Social Good can take just about any shape you’d like depending on what best suits your social community. For planning tips, check out our how-to guide or join the Mashable Meetup Organizers Facebook Group.
Social Good Day Ideas
Here are a few suggestions for planning a Mashable Meetup event:
Brainstorming Sessions: Connect with peers in your community while devising ways to make the world a better place.
Livestream Viewing Parties: Not everyone can make it to Manhattan to attend the Social Good Summit, so Mashable has made the entire event available for free online. RSVP for the Social Good Summit Livestream here!
Do Some Good!: Can you challenge your community to make a change for good in one day? It would be an ambitious endeavor, but we'd love to see it happen!
Invite Speakers: Is there someone in your area who is prominent in the social space and a champion of social good? Invite them to teach others about their best practices.
