Social Media Campaign
Most teens are on social media today, and a lot has been said about its ill effects. But social media is also an incredible vehicle for reaching a broad audience. And with some advance planning and careful execution you can do a lot to advance an important social cause. Are you passionate about reducing plastic use? Or keen to promote a campaign to clean up ocean garbage? Do some research about what organizations are working in the same space. Then start a social media account and regularly post images and links that promote your perspective on the theme. A great way to get new followers is to follow other organizations and people that are trying to do the same great work.

HOT TIP: You’ll get the most mileage out of a project that links into your overall narrative arc. Are you a science person? Tackle an issue like pollution, plastic or public health.
