Youth Work & Online Social Networks

March 29th, 2010

This is an excellent video (slideshare below) from Tim Davis, a consultant in Britain. He is one of the founders of UK Youth Workers Online site. It is a bit long (20 min.) but very worthwhile. I think the video is quite useful for youth workers who are struggling with how to address risk issues of youth participating in online social networking sites.

Great post Brent, thanks for sharing this excellent video (a great reminder to continue to read/view his work). So much non-profit social web writing is focused on cause/campaign work, it’s great to have a community service and social web perspective to connect with and learn/borrow from.

His personal blog is very much worth a read/subscription as well – http://www.timdavies.org.uk

Thanks Marco,

I’m really taken with learning more about workers effectively and appropriately using social media tools in their service work. I think this will be a growing area of development with non profits as the risks are addressed and resolved. Tim Davies is at the forefront of this evolution and he has much to offer on his site. Thanks again for comments Marco.

What One Thing Should Leaders do to Prepare for Social Media? Canada Online With Social Media – implications to non profits

The Social Non Profit – My Lens

A social non profit is attuned, responsive and adaptive to the complex factors affecting its constituents and communities. In a social non profit there is an alignment between staff, services, governance systems and online communications. Social non profits value learning and innovation and believe in working smarter by using social tech tools to enhance communication, collaboration and learning amongst staff, volunteers, partners and service users. These organizations believe that strategic use of social media empowers staff, improves services and strengthens governance practices.
