  • Collaborate with staff and interns to ensure the calendar is realistic and can be consistently executed.

Measurement & ROI Tracking

  • Help define what success looks like: engagement, reach, click-throughs, conversions, or community building.
  • Design a turnkey weekly reporting template with key metrics and simple visualizations that non-experts can maintain and interpret.
  • Recommend tools and workflows to track social media performance over time and adjust strategies as needed.

Ideal Candidate:

  • 5+ years of experience in social media strategy, digital marketing, or brand communications.
  • Deep understanding of Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn best practices, algorithms, and trends.
  • Experience developing content calendars and managing multi-channel social campaigns.

  • Creative, collaborative, and committed to youth empowerment and equity.
  • You must complete a half day training and pass a background check ($18 fee)

What You'll Gain:

  • A meaningful opportunity to use your professional skills to help vulnerable youth build brighter futures.
