Online communications and social media offer nonprofit organizations new, inexpensive, and easy-to-use tools for connecting with members and the public in a more personal way. These tools help small nonprofits wield a powerful megaphone previously available only to the largest organizations. At the same time, they enable members of large organizations to connect with peers across the country on the issues closest to their hearts. Social media allows for fun innovation while being a vital part of community organizers and communication professional’s jobs.
