The easiest, ground-floor help on social media is to repost and share what CADES shares on its social media. Additionally, in the case of events and initiatives, you can always forward emails to your network of followers or simply friends and family.
Because of photo clearance liability we ask that you do not post photos of our students on your personal social media pages.
1. Engagement with Followers: Ambassadors can actively engage with their followers by responding to comments, answering questions, and participating in discussions related to the CADES. This helps foster a sense of community and loyalty among the CADES’s audience.
2. User-Generated Content (UGC): Ambassadors can encourage their followers to create and share their own content featuring CADES (i.e., the playground, or the child’s day at CADES). This UGC serves as authentic social proof and can be reposted or shared by the CADES to further amplify its reach.
3. Promotion of Campaigns and Events: Ambassadors can help promote CADES campaigns, event launches, or news by sharing relevant content, creating anticipation, and encouraging their followers to participate or attend.

“Did you know that CADES serves as many people as it employs in Delaware County. My name is Jessie Robinson and I am the Director of Development for CADES which is a human services non-profit that serves children and adults with physical and intellectual disabilities. Many of those we serve also have some medical fragility component to their care with us. We have an early intervention program, a school aged program, an adult program, and a residential program we call community living arrangements. Walking the halls and talking with the teachers and students of our school aged program really changes my batteries. Do you have a minute for me to tell you about my friend Michael?”
