Great news, everyone. Friendship Force International now has its own “Page” on Facebook! This means better ways to share and learn about all the latest opportunities from FFI. It also means better ways for you to connect with us at FFI headquarters and with your friends around the world. You won’t want to miss out.
Here’s what you do: Click here to see our new Page! At the top of the page, you’ll see the title “Friendship Force International” and next to it, there will be a small button that says “Like.” Click on the button!
“Liking” our “Page” is just like joining the group – only better! “Groups” (like the Friendship Force “group” we have had for years) were one of the original features of Facebook. But as Facebook grew, “Pages” were developed as a better way for you to stay connected to the organizations that mean something to you.
The new Page is better than the old group because:
1. Pages are easier to find when you search on Facebook.
2. Posts from Friendship Force International will appear on your News Feed, just like posts from your friends (We’re all friends here, after all!) This way you can get updates from FFI without having to remember to visit the group.
3. Pages make it easier for you to share updates from FFI with all your friends – this means better visibility for the Friendship Force and better recruiting for your club and exchanges!
4. You can use the Page to do all the same things as the group – write on the wall, upload photos, and share links. But on the Page, your posts are much more likely to be seen!
You can still belong to the Friendship Force Facebook group – it’s not going anywhere. But here at FFI headquarters we’ll be using the new Friendship Force page to share the latest news. See you there!
