It's been a busy day and a half for One Step! The biggest project I embarked on was a social media torrent, because I believe that social media, when combined with social justice and volunteerism, can galvanize hundreds of people in minutes, rather than years. If you haven't liked/followed One Step yet, go onto your Twitter and Facebook and Tumblr right now! You can find the links under Our Social Media page. I will of course post the newest blogs on all of those sites, but I also am using it to widen the net of connections, as well as introduce you to a ton of charitable and non-profit organizations. Just check out what One Step follows, and suddenly you'll see things from the World Wildlife Fund to Rock the Vote to City Year. Check out all those amazing organizations, or suggest ones you don't see!
I have also been reaching out to all the amazing people I know who are engaging in service, activism, and making a difference. So many people are excited to talk about their passions and events, which is good news for me, because if everyone thought this was a loser idea, I'd have to close up shop. Here are just a few things to look out for:
- Forming a Sexual Assault Prevention Group on a college campus
- Creating a non-profit as a college student
- Becoming a feminist activist and finding your voice
- Learning what it means to do social justice work
- Being a president of a non-profit organization
...and MANY MORE POSTS! Get excited, because the work that people are doing is going to blow your mind and inspire your heart. And if you have something to share, be it an organization you want to see promoted, an event you want people to attend, or a feeling about what it means to make a difference, let me know. Operators are standing by at volunteeronestep@gmail.com :]
