Goals

• Enhance Facebook pages of participating nonprofit organizations through structured, external feedback from students that have attended training on best practices.
• Provide students with a remote critical thinking/civic engagement experience and an opportunity to learn about local organizations.

Process & Deliverables

1. Complete the application to express your interest.
2. NIU University Honors students opt into this activity and receive training.
3. A student reviews your organization’s Facebook page and provides feedback using a standardized form.
4. The student sends their review to the organizational contact you provide in your application.

Application Deadline: January 23, 2026. 

The social media review may occur any time between January 26 and May 8, 2026. Thank you in advance for your patience!

Note: This is not a professional social media audit and there is no guarantee the feedback will result in improved social media engagement. The goal is to provide you with an unbiased review of your Facebook page from the perspective of a student/young adult and to provide the student with a meaningful volunteer experience.

Depending on demand, there is no guarantee that we can accommodate everyone who expresses interest. Applications must be completed entirely to be considered.
