Everybody in BoostClub is precious.

• Most members check daily posts, make a donation, share with friends, on linkedin, do a Birthday Fundraiser once a year etc. and that adds up to epic impact
• Some members take TIME and are on fire to make this their SPORT, they want to dig deeper, reach milestones, team up with changemakers, activate local youth

The community is mostly for the latter.

Think of the common experience:

We see posts pop up on instagram – new hero*ines, milestones, progress updates, success news, supporters doing FUNdraisers, video-meetings etc.

• As we comment, we meet people sharing the same LOVE and PASSION. As we see specific causes appear, like horseriding, or self-defense, and emergencies, like a rapid treatment in rural Africa – we feel the urge to help, unite our forces and resources; in THIS moment, it is useful to communicate. Comment sections and messengers are not helpful for this. 
• As we comment, make friends, we get ideas for “let’s do this and that”; in THIS moment, it is useful to FORM GROUPS and gain more members.
• As some of us get more engaged, we like to browse who else is here, see their “Change The World” specific skills, resources, relations, in what country and city; which leads to new actions! In THESE moments, a community platform is super useful.

When you like to ORGANIZE ACTION, the COMMUNITY is necessary.

• Online Volunteers like to help with translations, articles etc.
• Some members get the idea to CREATE A FILM on a changemaker.
• Some decide to organize a VISIT to a changemaker.

We like to enable SELF-ORGANIZATION

• without everything to go via YL Staff,
• because this is how we enable diverse positive action.

To make sure it doesn’t become crazy wild, we keep a frame of a limited number of Project Partners, provide tutorials, online courses and YL Coach training, transparently post updates in the community news section, responsibly ask YL Staff / Coaches for green light …  

Here is how common platforms do not fit well 

• facebook is too distractive with ads, private friends, toxic stuff etc
• instagram is great for our updates, but useless for interaction
• twitter, no
• betterplace, only german, not community friendly
• patreon, too clunky
• discord, too minimalist techy
• whatsapp, no
• telegram, no
• project development platforms; too formal
• others – costly

Hence, we have created this BOOSTCLUB community platform

• using wordpress with buddypress + youzify
• simple
• usable
• pretty
• clear

Let’s make it the BEST it can be together!
