“How did we pick the charities? Well, that's a great question. It was really tough, but we had quite a long list of criteria as we began our search. For the first ever Summer of Social Good, we wanted to make sure that all charities were benefiting separate fields, already had a social media presence and team, already exemplified proper social media etiquette, had a drive to do something more and most importantly, was willing to lend a helping hand. Check out our team page for more information on the charities.”
