The document outlines a plan to recruit 200 youth volunteers by the end of March through a social media campaign. It discusses objectives, channels, activities, outcomes, requirements, cost estimates, and risks. The plan proposes using social media (paid and unpaid), current/former volunteers, schools/universities, communities, local media, and government to promote youth volunteering. Key activities include social media posts/ads, workshops, and advocacy events. Measurable outcomes include numbers of new registered users and volunteers. Cost estimates are provided for low, medium, and high budget scenarios. Identified risks relate to partnerships, production issues, and reputation attacks. Next steps focus on long-term university/government engagement and volunteer retention.
3. WHY

O

W
• Strong ICS Social Media community.
• Local online relevance (alexa.org) and good
bouncing rate (43%).
• Youth volunteering requires more audiovisual
content (more expensive).
• Volunteer support does not seem to have a
continuity programme.
• Partnerships and Government support increases Social Proof.
• Social recognition and influencing others drive younger audiences to
support a cause / become a volunteer.
• Cause conversation occurs primarily on Social Media.
• Increasing violence in other Africa regions affects recruitment .
• Government support may not be scalable.
4. CHANNELS
