This week’s nonprofit challenge of #yalltogetherSC is “Encourage Y’all,” announced yesterday by Together SC.

“Encourage Y’all” aims to generate social media messages that encourage nonprofit work + contributions. As a nonprofit or a local individual, you can:

  • Share nonprofit job openings, board openings + volunteer opportunities
  • Share why you volunteer/serve/work for or with nonprofits
  • Encourage people to volunteer, join boards + consider nonprofit careers

Share these encouragements on social media this week now through next Tuesday – using the hashtags #yalltogetherSC and #COLAtoday. We’ll pick a few posts to share here in our newsletter on Giving Tuesday.
