Project FLOW's Day of Service T-Shirt: A New Use of Social Media by Volunteer WV
Project FLOW – Future Leaders of Watersheds subgrantees submitted t-shirt designs for the FLOW Day of Service T-Shirt. Hand-drawn designs were transferred to electronic media and posted on the VolunteerWV Blog. FLOW youth exercised their democratic right and voted on the design they preferred during a two week period. The winning design was placed on the back of the service day t-shirt. Participating youth received and wore the shirt during the service day event. This process was an effective youth voice exercise. Youth developed a connection to other youth and understood that FLOW Day of Service was larger than just their individual event.
Over fifteen service events focused on watershed improvements including tree plantings, public education events, recycling at a marathon event, and river clean ups. Several blogs were posted describing subgrantees' day of service events on VolunteerWV blog or on subgrantees own organizational blogs. FLOW Day of Service from April 18 to April 25, 2009 coincided with Earth Day and Youth Global Service Days.
