PROJECT DESCRIPTION/DESCRIPTION DU PROJET:

In Canada there are approximately 170,000 registered non-profits, of which 85,000 are registered charities. These organizations face tremendous challenges in the pursuit of their objectives. Raising awareness of the non-profit and its objectives within the communities they serve is a key challenge shared by all of these organizations. Equally as important are the operational challenges of running a non-profit organization, which are often specific to a location and/or type of non-profit.

This internship is part of a broader project that is designed to address these critical challenges by demonstrating a social media-based framework that A) raises awareness for non-profits in the City they operate, B) provides a platform for best practices knowledge sharing within a local area and across non-profit types, and C) facilitates stakeholder bridging across non-profit communities.

The framework consists of three core components:

1. On-Camera Non-Profit Engagement Sessions

2. Social Media Content Creation and Distribution

3. Knowledge Sharing and Best Practices

The focus of this Intrapreneurship will be in supporting component number 1: On-Camera Non-Profit Engagement Sessions
