Create your team group on Facebook
Creating groups on social media is a great way to get information to family and friends regarding Walk day details such as parking, time, meeting location, etc., as well as events you have planned!
Follow these steps to create a team group on Facebook.
1. Log into your Facebook account.
2. On the left hand of the screen click on the word “Groups.”
3. On the left hand of the screen click on the link “Create New Group.”

b. Select Privacy: Option One: Public (anyone can see posts) or Option Two: Private (only members
can see posts).
c. Hide group: Option One: Public (anyone can search and find group) or Option Two: Hidden (only
members can find group).
Your team page is now created and ready to be customized!

7. Invite your team members. Simply click on the “Invite members” link then click on an individual’s name (there will be a check box next to name to select). Once all the members have been selected, click on “Send invites” on the bottom right of screen.
8. Create your first team post!
