Creating a community just for laid off designers. What is the best way to reach them?

Question

Hey! I want to contribute to the design scene and create a community for designers that have been recently laid off to help them get back on their feet. What would be the best way to get in touch with them?

Join and post to all of these groups. https://pixel77.com/stay-connect... Attend meetups for design and do the same

Hmmm, maybe on Reddit, Linkedin, and Facebook groups, Twitter as well. 
I see no other way other than using social media and making your community popular enough so they will go there for help. You might even spend some money to get it out there, not sure if it's worth it.

I think that's awesome, but, there are already tons of such groups all over social media.

Maybe I don't understand how would it actually help people get back on their feet. I'm curious, any details you can share with us? :)

Interesting question. I'd suggest you to use LinkedIn to see the designers "open to work", and some relevant groups in social media as well, so you can reach out to them and ask questions

I see posts in Linkedin

@chris_sarca I am still doing some research on what type of content and discussions inside a community would benefit those affected by the layoffs and if there is a need for something like this at all.

Thanks for the comment. Will definitely try to research those channels. Will have to validate the idea first before i jump into making anything :D

I see many countries-based job portals, but anything global is a good idea to execute.
