Staff reports:
February is a big month for classes! Want to drive more traffic to your business’s or organization’s website? Register now for a new version of one of the most popular classes we’ve offered, Gain Google Search Visibility. Taught by Steffen Ryan, a digital strategist for Weber Shandwick, this one is bound to fill up so sign up today. Are you a community organizer? If so, you’ll want to register for the first in a series of workshops being facilitated by Cirien Saadeh, a graduate of the Organizing Apprenticeship Project. Storytelling for Community Organizers: So What? will demonstrate the value of intentional and strategic storytelling as a tool for base-building and developing power. This class is being held at the Brian Coyle Center. Finally, are you looking for help with social media? We have 15 classes scheduled at area libraries in February that cover all of the bases, plus our monthly Social Media Clinic, where you bring your questions and Marcos Lopez-Carlson provides answers. Check back frequently for details about all of our classes and don’t forget about our Newsroom Cafes, held at the Twin Cities Daily Planet and The Avenue Eatery.
