Communicating with you: Newsletter, Social Networking and the TeenHelp Blog.

Source: Announcements forum | Thread.


Hi everyone,

Today we're launching three new projects by which TeenHelp can communicate with you!

Newsletter

The first new project is a monthly Newsletter that aims to keep our users informed about what we're doing. The Newsletter will contain a lot of useful information about our current work, including updates to our site and services, work with our partners and affiliates, details of upcoming events, short bits of advice, interesting links and more! The Newsletter will be published on the 15th of each month. To subscribe to the Newsletter, click here and enter your email address in the appropriate form.

Social Networking

The second new project will be the launch of our new social networking campaign. We intend to begin posting regularly to both our Facebook (click here) and Twitter (click here) accounts. These posts will be mainly focused around work outside of TeenHelp, such as links to other organisations, volunteering opportunities, events, articles, pictures and videos that we find interesting and relevant to our users. This will be a great way for you to get information concerning charity work and the wider world of advice.

For this project there is also the opportunity for you to get involved yourself! We're hoping to put together a team of writers who can help us find information to publish. This would be particularly suited to anybody who does a lot of volunteering or charity work already (or who knows people who do), or those who have a strong interest in the news; basically, we want anyone who is usually privy to a lot of information that TeenHelp users might benefit from. This isn't a Staff position, so there's no need for an application, if you want to get involved just click here to PM me with a few lines about how you think you could contribute to this project.

Tip: If you're concerned about your privacy, Facebook's advanced privacy settings can be used to hide your groups entirely from your friends.

TeenHelp Blog

The third and final new project is a TeenHelp Blog. This will be used as a convenient repository of information that allows you to quickly and simply find out what we're up to. It will allow you to keep on top of our (now-) many avenues of information and will provide a place where you can discuss TeenHelp's announcements, notices, Avatar releases and Newsletter releases, among other things that you might not normally have the chance to discuss.

I hope everyone finds these changes helpful.
