This is my first post to this site, though i have looked it over many times this past year. the organization i work for, the interfaith youth core, envisions the value of religious pluralism spreading out to the far stretches of the nation and the world, and all i can do is internally combust at all the opportunity there is to make that happen, with the increasingly developing advent of social media....and no one capable on our staff to really get it going..
how exciting it was to me that we are finally going towards that stage by looking for that person to take our vision, meld it with the wonders of web 2.0 and such, and see the ripples of change towards a global interfaith youth movement:
To see millions of youth fully equipped and dedicated to working with other youth to the call of social change in their communities, all based on the shared actionable values that their faith has called them forth to impact!!!
To see entire systems built around the institutions that foster these youth into global mobilizers and statement makers that build and grow on the collaborations of people and institutions like them and vastly different from them all over the world!
(phew!!
like i said, its some empowering stuff!)
So, here i am, looking for that person to take us through that threshold between our 2-D webpage, and classic newspaper and journal articles, to a fully dynamic, youth rockin'
movement shakin', pluralist buildin' organization on the web!
now if you are, or know who that person is, and where they're hiding, please take a look at our Job Description for Social Media Associate, and feel free to look around the site, as classic it may be, to learn more about our vision and the interfaith youth movement at large.
Wish me luck! and thanks for your time!.. (for those of you in Chicago, and a part of the Net Tuesday Chicago Group, see you soon!)
