Outreach Outlets
There are many different ways to deliver outreach messages. Outreach outlets can include writing popular magazine articles or articles for agency or organization newsletters, participating in radio or television programs, presenting programs at community meetings or meetings of environmental interest groups and programs for school groups. The number of outlets is truly unlimited and your own creativity will ensure that your message is being heard through any channel necessary. Outreach outlets are a great way to reach a large number of individuals that may not ordinarily be exposed to the information you have to offer. Below are some examples of specific outreach outlets local to Mid- Michigan that you may want to become involved with now or in the future.
