Increasing Youth Engagement Through Digital Outreach
Digital Youth Engagement | Kitchener, Ontario
The Challenge
A local nonprofit organization in Kitchener wanted to strengthen its ability to reach and engage young people and develop a more effective approach to youth outreach.
The organization recognized the need to connect with young people through the digital channels and communication styles they already use.
Saham's Role
Saham Consulting provided strategic consulting to help develop a social-media-based youth outreach program designed around the ways young people communicate, discover information, and engage with organizations.
Our Approach
Saham helped the organization develop a structured approach to digital youth engagement, focusing on:
- Understanding the target youth audience
- Selecting appropriate social-media channels
- Developing relevant content and messaging
- Creating opportunities for two-way engagement
- Connecting online engagement with organizational programs and services
- Building a sustainable outreach approach
Rather than treating social media simply as a promotional tool, Saham approached it as a relationship-building and community-engagement platform.
Result
Following implementation of the outreach approach, the organization experienced a significant improvement in youth engagement.
This result demonstrates the potential of a focused digital strategy to strengthen connections between nonprofit organizations and younger audiences.
