Clinton arrived to Missoula eager to invest himself within the outdoors and community. He found a great start with his Campus Corps Position at the Watershed Education Network (WEN). WEN seeks to educate the community about water quality and pollution. Clinton goes above and beyond what is required of a Campus Corps member and is one of the most devoted volunteers we have. At WEN, he expands their reach by creating and cultivating marketing strategies, such as the WEN blog, the WEN website, promotional marketing campaigns and materials for fundraisers. By utilizing his background in media development, Clinton expands the organization’s capacity to reach a wider population within Missoula. With Clinton’s assistance, WEN is able to provide volunteer events aimed at teaching the community about water quality and further show the people of Missoula what WEN is doing through updated blogs, videos and photos.
While non-profits provide much-needed services to communities, often times those services remain muted because of barriers that inhibit reporting results. Clinton allows WEN to overcome this by enabling the organization to further its reach by accessing social media outlets. Furthermore, Clinton is an active member within the scope of what the Office for Civic Engagement is doing. As a Campus Corps leader who plans events like Adopt-a-Family, Can the Cats Food Drive, and events in honor of National Days of Service, I know that I can rely on Clinton to participate and use his amiable persona to engage others in service.
