Day 3 of Resolve to Be Involved: Share!

By Merritt Frey, Executive Director

Over the last five days of this month, we are helping you set your new year’s intentions with a series of ways you can Resolve to be Involved with Mali Rising — five easy ways to help others. The five ways: Connect, Volunteer, Share Give, and Celebrate. We are on Day 3 here so we’re asking you to resolve to Share!

Now this is a resolution that will only take you about 30 seconds. Really. Doesn’t that sound better than dragging yourself to the gym three times a week? Now, we wouldn’t complain if you made this a regular habit (maybe a few times a month?) but you get to claim victory if you do it even once: share a Mali Rising post on social media!

That’s right, all you need to do is share a Mali Rising post with your friends on Facebook or Instagram. We post great stories that lift the spirt so your friends will thank you for making their day a little more cheerful. No fundraising asks or other hard stuff — just share a story you like.

This is hugely helpful to us because we have a tiny network of friends and really want to grow it. Your share can grow a post’s reach by more than 100%! Seriously. So be a hero and head over to social media now to find something you can share. If you are inspired, you can add a brief note with your share such as, “This is a great organization I’m involved with and I wanted to share this story about what a difference we can all make for someone…even someone far away.”

Thank you for spreading the word by sharing.
