#Volunteer4SA
About Volunteer for South Africa
For People & the Planet
Core Objective
Promote a Culture
of Volunteerism
There needs to be a paradigm shift in our attitudes towards community and the commons — they are the weft and the warp — the foundation on which we can thrive.
It is time to change the narrative on volunteering — to celebrate existing activity whilst finding new ways to engage with anyone who wants to participate. Opportunities abound for the founding of new innovative volunteer projects that address urgent problems.
Primary Focus
Food, Water, Energy
Health, Education, Safety & Housing
Although, our primary focus is on the above list of categories, volunteers can volunteer for anything that helps their community.
e.g. Food: According to research by the DA, millions of people are suffering the pain and indignity of hunger. 81% of households are skipping at least one daily meal. 41% say they can’t feed their families anymore. Heartbreaking. We can change this!!!
Leveraging Media Channels
Cross-Pollinating
Multi-Media
Campaigns
Our integrated Online and Offline content is designed to cross-pollinate by referencing to each other. Good examples are a QR code and / or a web address printed on / in a magazine, banner, billboard, etc. and the mentioning of offline content in digital media.
Social Media
Initially, all our focus will be on comprehensive Social Media Campaigns — they are managed by our team of volunteers.
Posters
We intend to have many A0, A1 and A2 sized posters of diverse range of volunteer action displayed in public places such as shops.
Buttons
The hashtag logo on a button badges worn by volunteers everyday syncs the website with the twitter and Facebook pages
Billboards
We hope that we can get billboard companies to sponsor 1% of their billboard space as part of the ‘1% for SA’ Initiative.
Radio & TV
#Volunteer4SA projects will be in the news more and more — because what we are doing is newsworthy.
Print Media
We will endeavor to get the success of #Volunteer4SA projects into newspapers, magazines and papers.
