Tell us a little about your organization’s work in the community.
The Centre for Dreams is a day program for adults with developmental disabilities in York Region. We teach them life skills and have them volunteer in the community. We strive to help our members fulfill their goals and dreams and let them decide what is best for them
What Social Media platforms do you use?
The 2 major social media platforms that we use is Facebook and Twitter
Are there ways in which you can now raise more awareness or funds through sites such as Twitter, Facebook? IE can I make a donation through Facebook?
We use Facebook and Twitter to spread awareness about the Centre for Dreams. It is a tool that helps us promote special fundraising events that we do throughout the year. We post pictures of events so that people can follow us and it gives our members the “star” appeal which they love. As of right now donations cannot be made through Facebook
Have you engaged in using blogs? If so how do you use the blogging platform to reach out to the community at large?
We do not use blogs as a form of social media
How do you think we can improve our use of Social Media and the work Charities like yours do?
For us, it is not about improvement. It is how a small organization like ours can take full advantage of social media so that we can benefit financially. I think if we can be made aware of the full potential benefit that social media can have on our organization
Are there any negative implications or applications you can see in a Charities use of Social Media?
I think that if used properly there is only positive results that can come out of charities using social media. Social media is a way that we can get the message out that we do exist and to showcase the positive way our members impact the community.
