Social Media Toolkit

Help spread the word about your project by posting on social media!

Whether you’re taking part in a project or sharing a story of alumni service, please use #DartmouthServes on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. And don’t forget to tag @dartmouthalumni!

Promoting a Project
If you’re a service project organizer or attendee – or if you’re simply volunteering in your community yourself – we encourage you to share your story on social media.

• Once on site, take a photo or two of people at work, and if possible, arrange a group photo of all alumni participants. A mix of action photos and group shots is ideal.
• Share the image or images and a short message about your project on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
• Use #DartmouthServes. Feel free to search for posts using #DartmouthServes and share at will!
• When possible, tag @DartmouthAlumni and @DartmouthAlumniCouncil to share with Dartmouth Alumni Relations and the Alumni Council.
• Also, tag any Dartmouth groups that have helped organize the day, such as your regional club or affiliated group.

Important photography note:
• Ask your subjects if they are OK being photographed.
• If you’re partnering with an organization, check in with a representative to ensure they are OK with their participants being photographed.
• If you take any pictures of children, obtain permission from parents
