Being the American University Social Media Club, we’re pretty good at sharing information. This year we want to introduce members of the DC community to 7 of the coolest non-profits in the district that are doing BIG things to give back. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be making 7 short YouTube films about the key players at each organization, the projects they’re working on & what you can do to get involved.
Lucky for you, you’ll get a chance to check out our videos, learn more about the non-profits and the AU Social Media Club during this year’s DCWEEK and Benevolent Media Festival activities. Join us for a showing of our shorts & we promise you’ll have a feel-good time.
