Motivating Millenials: How to Activate Young People to Take Action for Your Cause

There are 80 million millennials in the U.S., and they're on their way to eclipsing Baby Boomers as the most populous generation. But most organizations don't know how to reach them – which is a huge missed opportunity. Millennials are out to change the world. Harnessing that energy is essential for organizations seeking to have a real impact.

DoSomething.org activates millions of young people to take action every year. This webinar will shareDoSomething.org's secret sauce in the following categories: 

• What should we ask millennials to do? Identifying causes millennials care about and actions they're willing to take to advance these issues.
• How do we talk to millennials? Creating content that keeps this audience engaged.
• Where do we reach them? Using key social platforms to connect with millennials.

Intended Audience:  Marketing and communications, community outreach, fundraising and development staff.
