Are you using your social media powers for good? Social Media Lunch Hour was created for nonprofit and other community-serving professionals responsible for social media engagement on behalf of their organization or cause.
So often, the ‘social media manager’ hat is just one of many that someone in an organization wears. Trying to juggle this role along with other responsibilities while operating as a mighty team of one can be really tough. Having a regular opportunity to get feedback, pool expertise, and share wins + frustrations from peers who ‘get’ your work can literally change the way you work. And that’s exactly what Social Media Lunch Hour offers.
We’ll connect twice per month—during the lunch hour*—to share our favorite tips, tools, and strategies to manage social media effectively with limited time and resources. Our one-hour conversations will take place via web conference, allowing you to join from the comfort of whatever WiFi-accessible spot you choose.
Program overview:
Over a seven-month period extending from April through October 2021, you’ll connect virtually with an intimate community of peers and benefit from curated resources to support your work, including:
- ONE virtual welcome gathering in April 2021 to get to know your cohort members
- TWELVE 1.0-hour group web conferences–participating by video a necessity–from April through October 2021
- Access to a private Facebook Group where you can access various RESOURCES curated from my past and current work, as well as contributions from your fellow participants
Our first two cohorts have included members from Kaua‘i, O‘ahu, Maui, and Hawai‘i islands. The camaraderie and candid conversations we’ve shared have been a true bright spot in this time of isolation + uncertainty.
Thank you so much for offering this social media lunch hour program; I learned so much from the group conversations and the resources you shared. I thought the calls were well-facilitated and sparked lots of insightful dialogue.

Alternatively, if you’re not interested in the peer-learning aspect of this program, you may be interested to secure a copy of the social media planning notebook for nonprofits + do-gooders which provides a great self-paced, do it yourself framework!
