YouTube has chosen the first class of 20 non-profits to participate in its Next Cause program, a day-long summit in San Francisco that will teach non-profits best practices on the social video platform.
YouTube chose organizations, it believes, are already making an impact for good on the world. Next Cause, the latest phase of the NextUp Program, aims to give non-profits the tools to best tell their stories through video.
"The organizations come from big cities and small towns across the country from Illinois to Colorado to Texas to California and many work all over the world," YouTube spokesperson Jessica Mason wrote Mashable. "They also work on a variety of issues from animal abuse to homelessness to international poverty alleviation to children’s health."
YouTube says the organizations were chosen for their prior commitment to the YouTube platform, passion for improving their use of online video and potential to use video to drive action.
