Free Social Media 101 Training

To deepen its connection with Bay Staters, AARP Massachusetts is offering free Social Media 101 workshops and encouraging members to become part of its online community. The two-hour workshops cover how to use sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.

“If social media feels like a foreign world to you, complete with its own language, or if you already have a Facebook account but want to delve deeper, consider attending one of these workshops,” said Mike Festa, AARP state director.

The sessions are held at the AARP state office, 1 Beacon St., in Boston. Lunch is provided, and registration is required. To register—or to volunteer to monitor AARP social media accounts—call Carol Brooks Ball, AARP social media specialist, at 866-448-3621 toll-free or email ma@aarp.org.
