In February and March, the CSM Center presented two Webinars,  “Extending Your Reach: Using Facebook and Texting to Engage Audiences” (Part I and Part II) that delivered tools, resources and guidance for engaging new and existing Safe Schools/Healthy Students audiences through Facebook and texting campaigns. While Part I provided an introduction to setting up a Facebook page and texting campaign, Part II shared grantee examples, introduced the benefits of Twitter, and addressed the latest changes coming to Facebook pages.
