Social Media & Social Change

The concept of social change has been around a lot longer than that of social media, but despite their age difference, the two are actually complementary. Studies show that much of the general public supports social change and have a desire to donate their time and money to make the world a better place. Organizations such as Kickstarter, DonorsChoose.org, Pencils of Promise, and CrowdRise are taking advantage of this desire and using social media to raise awareness about their causes and make a difference in the world of education. Here’s a look at just what they have done and ways you can get involved.
