Want to help create a more equitable food system and fight food waste? Waste Not Want Not Now, a volunteer-based organization focused on connecting surplus food with people in need, is seeking a Social Media volunteer to help us relaunch our targeted efforts across Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook aimed at raising awareness for our cause, spotlighting volunteers, community members and organizations, and increasing our presence within the initiative in Los Angeles.
If you love social media and fighting for great causes, there couldn’t be a better time to get involved. Our organization is growing quickly in an effort to recover as much surplus food as we can and divert it to shelters, churches, and other groups that feed people experiencing homelessness and others in need. There’s so much work to be done in this space; while up to 40% of food in the United States is wasted, 1 out of 7 people and 1 out of 5 children are food insecure in Los Angeles County.
Social media is crucial to these efforts and our coordinator will be instrumental in defining our voice as we grow and an essential element to achieving our objectives. We’re looking for a volunteer that can commit to 5-10 hours per week for at least three months.
If you want to join us in these efforts, please send along your resume with brief intro of yourself to volunteers@wastenotwantnotnow.org and let us know why you want to be involved in this initiative!
Position Responsibilities:
- Help develop brand identity on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook
- Collaborate on specific strategies for each platform
- Coordinate a posting schedule and help execute when possible
- Build community across our social accounts through strong engagement and interest in getting to know the people that follow us
- Produce content across each outlet including text, photos, and video
- Sharp, insightful copy that engages, educates, and raises awareness
Qualifications
- At least one year of experience in social media or similar
- Passion for our causes
- Strong team player and proven community builder
- Ability to work remotely and provide own computer
