A program run out of Saint Joseph’s University is looking for non-profits and social entrepreneurs who want help in designing or bolstering their online presence.
Beautiful Social is a student-run social media consultancy designed to help non-profits and other entrepreneurs with everything from market research to website usability testing to developing a social media strategy. The idea is to help grow communities and civic engagement online.
The services are free of charge. Students put theory into practice and gain real experience while helping local organizations thrive. Two professors from St. Joe’s communication studies program, which incorporates social justice into its curriculum, oversee the students.
Beautiful Social has worked with a number of non-profits, including the Philly-based Power Up Gambia and InterAct Theater Company since it began last year.
Anyone interested in being part of the program should contact Mike Lyons at jlyons [at] sju.edu.
Full disclosure: One of the professors who oversees the projects is also a co-owner of this website.

The Philadelphia Multicultural Music Center for Non-Violence (PMMC) is a faith-based, 501(c)(3) non-profit which uses music education to reduce violence in the community. We target elementary school age children from low-income families.
We are seeking help in the form of volunteers. Some, with musical experience, to work directly with our kids. And others, like your project, that can help us bolster our visibility in the community.
Please look us up on the web to see if we are the type of entity you are seeking. Thank you in advance.
