The main point of working on the social media campaign is to get as many people involved as we can. I hope to get attention from other young volunteers by these social networks. Blog, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube are the most popular social networks nowadays, so By sharing the interesting and inspiring stories, I hope to get into young generation's heart. GNML online lab is really helpful to make us inspire others by our posts and experiences.

The Volunteer: Longtime volunteer lives to help others
Alicia Armstrong lives and breathes volunteerism. It’s her job. It’s her passion.
She exudes her passion for volunteering and her volunteers with boundless enthusiasm and pep.
Mrs. Armstrong, 61, is reluctant to talk about her position as Smith County Sheriff’s Office Volunteer Coordinator and her effectiveness as a volunteer wrangler and advocate. But she’s not reluctant to share her love for giving time, her goal to help others give their time in a mutually beneficial way and her belief that volunteerism is more of a gift for those who do the giving.
“For me (volunteering) is part of the Golden Rule … ‘do unto others,’” she said. “It makes you feel good to help others.”

But anyone who knows Barbara — and that includes practically everyone in Norton and Wise County — knows of her outstanding and dedicated volunteer service in many other aspects of community spirited activism spanning many decades.Now 75, Barbara Caruso has quite simply volunteered her services in one fashion or another since she was a young girl growing up in the Carfax area of Wise County, an unincorporated community located between Coeburn and St. Paul.
