Strategies for turning social capital into social impact (from SCI AmeriCorps workshop winter 2010)
- Increase communication and have information [D1] available to all.
- Expand pre-existing networks
- Become an expert in the issue you are addressing; or at least learn enough to communicate about it, and find other subject matter experts you can tap.
- Localize a larger issue.
- Replicate and enhance past events.
- Develop clear objectives.
- Utilize the connectors in your network to expand your reach.
- Find groups with common goals and objectives who have a shared interest in the issue.
- Follow-up with groups and individual contacts made—follow-through on any commitments made, and be in touch proactively to further cultivate the relationship.
- Be willing to do small tasks to get objectives done.
- Ask your volunteers for help tapping their networks to get additional volunteers & resources.
- Expand your base of volunteers to have greater impact.
