Our Children, Their Future: A Look Into Children’s Aid Society Foundation’s Online Learning Day
At DCS, what makes us proudest of what we do is the opportunity to work alongside organizations doing critical, changemaking work in our community. And our friends and clients at the Children’s Aid Society Foundation (CASF) in Somerset fit that profile to a “T.”
On Dec. 3rd, we helped CASF launch its first ever Online Learning Day, an all-digital effort focused on the work of CASF and the Children’s Aid Home Programs (CAHP) it supports. And in this season’s spirit of giving, we also encouraged our audience to support both CASF’s annual Red Stocking Fundraiser and its ongoing endowment campaign by calling the Foundation office at (814)701-2275!
DCS has made our own holiday contribution to their effort, and we encourage you to do the same via the button above. Your donation directly supports Children’s Aid Home Programs’ ability to deliver family-strengthening services like:
Foster and adoption programs
Residential care for youths between 12 and 18 years old
Youth therapeutic services
Case management
Skills training
Tailored education programming
From DCS’ end, it was a thrill to deploy our Digital Advocacy Day model for (a) such a remarkable pair of organizations and (b) for digital fundraising purposes for the first time! Throughout the day, we either created or facilitated:
Moving video testimonials from adoptive parents, families touched by CAHP/CASF’s work, board members, alumni of the Programs, and more
Social posts outlining the organizations’ work and mission
An expert panel discussion on educating disadvantaged students
A virtual tour of the facility
We’re proud to report that, among the many successes of the day, CASF/CAHP saw:
A 5,133% increase in page views
A 34,464% increase in total post reach
A 39,567% increase in post engagement
A one-day increase of 64+ new Facebook Page followers -- despite having just 21 followers beforehand!
