Outline for Craig Portwood - NCC Youth

Blog:
This blog will highlight information regarding trips, events, fundraisers, and opportunities for the youth group to get together. Also, lessons from the week will be posted here. It will also have stories from students (trying to figure out how to make the blog accessible to other bloggers), staff, and volunteers. The parents will also have access to the blog. This will help in getting students involved. Having parents in tune with out program is going to be the key. The blog will act as 2-way communication between the leadership of NCC Youth and the parents. Lessons and sermons will also be uploaded here; more specifically, a synopsis of what Craig preaches on will be uploaded.

Facebook:
This will mainly be for student interaction. Most of the students involved in NCC Youth are already on facebook. All they will have to do is add the group. This group will be an aggregator for pictures taken of NCC Youth programs, volunteer/community work, and trips. There will be discussions started for the kids to get involved with. Also, lessons from the week will be posted here. Parents are also encouraged to be a part of this group.

Linked In:
Have not found a need for this yet...I do not know exactly what it does anyway.

Twitter:
Main updates will be posted here. Events and meetings will be shared. It will be an opportunity for "advertising" the youth group. It will be as closely linked with the blog as possible.

I will need to gather the login information from the previously created NCC webpage on facebook. I will try and link the new student site from that page.
