Making Your Own "My Why" Video Couldn't Be Easier!

---

Please keep your video to a minute at the most and share your thoughts on the following questions:

• What personal values drive you to do the work that you do?
• How is your organization's mission a direct reflection of those personal values?
• How great does it feel, for you and for those who join you, to be working together as a community to serve the community?

A couple of tips as you prepare:

• Be mindful of your background.  It will show up in your recording.
• Position the webcam as close as you can to eye level.
• Make some notes first, if you wish. But don’t read from a script. Authenticity is key.

A couple of tips as you record:

• Keep it short and sweet (no more than one minute!).
• Don't forget to smile!
• It's OK to start by waving hello.
• Start off by introducing yourself, and state the name of your organization.  This is really important.  That's why it written in boldface!
• It does not need to be perfect. You will be able to redo the video if need be (click the X in the red circle) but try and resist the urge to re-record over and over.  A minor glitch or two adds to the authenticity. 
• Be energetic. Be creative. You’re telling a great story. Let your passion shine through.

When you're ready to start, follow the link below to record and submit your video.  If you’re using your computer, Google Chrome will provide the best experience. When recording from your computer, you'll also have the option to upload a video if you wish to use your own video capture tools to record something ahead of time.

If you do click through and submit a video, you are giving us permission to share it publicly, including via social media and on our web page.   This is, after all, a social media campaign!

We will use our discretion in deciding which videos to post.
