Volunteer: Social AcceleratorThe Friends and Foundation of Albany Public Library seeks three or more volunteers to help enliven discussion and engagement with our social media platforms, to better inform the public about the FFAPL's author programs, APL programs, and the FFAPL's fundraising initiatives.
The Friends and Foundation of Albany Public Library changed its name in February 2020 and launched a new website and identity in the midst of the pandemic. Since our name change, we have lost a great deal of Facebook engagement. We have an intergenerational audience from diverse social and cultural backgrounds. We seek online ambassadors for our Facebook page to reach out to local Facebook "groups" and expand awareness about our organization and programs.
We also seek volunteers who would like to learn about social media marketing and can commit to 5-8 weeks. Volunteers may take on or assist with one of the following projects:
Social Media Audit
Updating content calendar
Thematic scheduled posts
Monitoring social media analytics
Create blog and linked social media content
Build and deploy auto-reply tools
