In advance of MCON12, a virtual conference on Millennial engagement featuring more than 30 leading experts on July 19, Social Citizens convened a special preview discussion that begins to explore several of the conference's major themes. Participants included Derrick Feldmann, CEO of Achieve; Beth Kanter, social media guru and author; Amber Goodwin of Mobilize.org; Kari Saratovsky of KDS Startegies; Ken Tran of AmeriCorps Alums; Jenna Sauber of the Case Foundation; and myself on behalf of Social Citizens.
Derrick moderated the discussion and touched upon the following ideas and questions:
- The use of technology is an important piece in the relationship for Millennials and nonprofits. How do nonprofits grow a social media presence?
- How should nonprofits use social networks to attract Millennial volunteers and advocates?
- What are the challenges nonprofits have with attracting Millennials to their cause? How do we convince boards to work with and engage Millennials?
