How to outreach

In this article, young activists can learn how to utilize family, friends, and school groups to promote their projects to the people they know around them.

Local Communities

Itโ€™s easier to find potential members in your immediate community. When youโ€™re just starting out, your platform is too small to immediately leap into the Internet wilderness.
