Special Olympics Project Unify – Fan Community TrainingPrepared for Project Unify StaffNovember 2010
Welcome
Our online Fan Community is one of the main engagement tools through which we connect and communicate with supporters across the globe.
Why Use the Fan Community?
Creating groups and uploading videos, photos or audio allows members to connect and share with other members, exchange best practices, celebrate successes and answer questions.
The Fan Community also facilitates two-way conversations between SOI and community members, helping constituents become a larger part of Special Olympics’ family.
