FJC and Social Media: We’re Everywhere!
04/12/23 2
Why Social Media? “You can’t afford not to be on it.” People are talking about Jewish camp, summer
camp, and the Jewish nonprofit sector, and we want to be part of that conversation.
What are people saying about FJC? What do our audiences need?
How can we engage our constituents in the short-term (conversations, sharing links, etc) so that we might engage them in the long-term (program applicants, donors, etc)?
How can we make people feel good about Jewish camp? We empower and enable people to advocate.
Directly recruit for our programs: One Happy Camper; Professional Development programs, etc.

What have we learned? 1:12 rule: for every message you send out
that promotes yourself or your organization, you should send out 12 messages that either: Provide a resource to audience (articles, etc.) Complement or highlight someone else’s
efforts (repost messages from camps, organizations, etc.)
Initiate conversations: Ask audience questions that will allow them to talk about themselves and share their stories.

Twitter 794 Followers: camps, nonprofit technology
gurus, secular camp orgs and professionals, Jewish professionals, rabbis, former campers, parents, random folks with an interest in Jewish camp
Purpose: Twitter is a much more informal mechanism of communicating small bits of information to a much broader audience. Unlike FB, it’s appropriate to insert yourself into a stranger’s conversation or send them a message even if they don’t follow you.
Twitter also allows you to follow conversations around specific topics/events, and see who the real influencers are.
