The Help Group | nonprofit school for special needs

“Everything you share is gold! I appreciate the wealth of info and tips!”

My work with The Help Group began in 2010. It’s been quite a journey learning about the nonprofit and education worlds from a school’s point-of-view. We’re creating meaningful relationships and actually talking to educators and parents around the world. Branding The Help Group as an innovative school with diverse programs isn’t very hard; we consistently gain new followers and meaningful Twitter mentions. Thanks to events like the dedication of a new Autism Center and Music For Autism’s interactive performance, our Facebook page views and likes are increasing.

I use  Twitter to actively engage/find our audience and consult on the company’s use of Facebook. With great programs like Advance LA, preparing young adults and teens with autism for independent living, and Silver Lining, the resale boutique that’s also a retail training store, I’m never at a loss for fun ways to spread the word!

I also engage in multiple Twitter chats and forums with educators, which leads me to amazing discoveries like Mrs. Yollis’ Classroom Blog. This is why I believe I have the most fun job ever – listening in and talking to teachers who want to use their new tools in innovative and safe ways.

And here’s another reason why The Help Group is the most fun client ever. Mozart never sounded so good:
