Improve YouTube channel for supporting Save the Children's grassroots movement
Save The Children Sweden has a national program with many different initiatives and concrete activities for children. A lot of this work is carried out by our grassroots movement, through local Save the Children associations around the country.
In the Skåne county alone, there are thirteen local Save the Children associations organized and run by volunteers.
Save the Children's Operations Development Officers offer technical, administrative and operative support to the local associations.
As part of our support to the local Save the Children associations, we have created a YouTube Channel called “Fråga din VU” ("Ask your Operations Development Officer").
This is a series of short YouTube clips where we answer questions that are important for the volunteers to have knowledge on.
We would like to get support in taking “Fråga din VU” to a next level in terms of editing tools, production but also in terms of engagement and promotion of all episodes.
This could be done through an initial workshop, when we explain our needs, followed by internal work on your end to come up with suggestions for improvements, and then in the end have a final workshop when you share your thoughts and ideas.
Fundraising on YouTube
We are interested in learning about how to best use YouTube as a channel to raise money for Save the Children Sweden.
A workshop together with you to learn if there's a specific tool, ad space or anything that other fundraising organizations use with great success, or share any other related advice would be greatly appreciated!
Improving Livestreaming on YouTube
We do live broadcasts on YouTube from our studio at Save the Children’s head quarter in Stockholm.
It could, for example, be one of Save the Children´s report releases on a specific topic that is important to spread.
We would love your support with tips and ideas on how we can become even better, get more viewers, increase the spread and commitment to the broadcast. Both before, during and after the live streaming event.
Estimated time required by each employee taking on this opportunity: 1-3 hours per employee, depending on your capacity and willingness to engage.

An estimated 500 children enter foster care in Snohomish County each year. Many of these children leave home late at night with just minutes to say goodbye to their families. They are loaded into a social worker’s car with only a hastily-packed garbage bag of their belongings in tow.
Before Safe Place, these children would ride in the back of that car, sometimes overnight, while their social worker made calls in hopes of finding them a safe place to stay.
Founded in 2010, Hand in Hand Safe Place was established by a group of foster parents in response to this exact situation – supporting children entering foster care at night and on weekends. It was the first program of its kind.
