We are so happy you clicked on our posting! This is an amazing opportunity for any high schooler, college student, or anyone who just wants to give back in a big way. This opportunity will give you new skill sets, teach you about the nonprofit world and Africa (Malawian culture specifically) and leave with a heart full of joy. *PLEASE NOTE THIS OPPORTUNITY IS REMOTE BUT YOU MUST BE U.S. BASED. We will not accept applicants outside the US.

We are a small but mighty (and growing!) nonprofit with educational programs for youth and their families in the rural southern region of Malawi, a tiny landlocked country in South East Africa. We are looking for a volunteer social media intern to do a full take over of our social media during our end of year fundraising season (mid Sept. 2023-early Jan 2023) and help us share our amazing story with the world (Please note this opportunity does not require fundraising experience or skills but you may be asked to participate in fundraising efforts).

This opportunity is ideal for a college student or young professional with mad social media skills to add something powerful to their resume or for anyone who has a little bit of extra time and wants to give back through storytelling. Ideal volunteer is familiar with Facebook/Instagram integration, LinkedIn for nonprofits, photo editing (Canva), hashtags, filters and has an eye for visual aesthetics. You don't have to be an expert at social media, we just want someone whose passionate about the world's poor and can commit an hour or two a week to posting and/or scheduling future posts. This position is remote and super flexible (ie we will not be breathing down your back so you can run with it and make this your own project), so you work where you want when you want and in return you get to do something extraordinary for our children and their families in Malawi.

Details:
You will be managing our Instagram & LinkedIn accounts and growing our audience and followers through weekly engagement. This includes 1-2 weekly posts, responding to comments, following relevant accounts and using your own network to connect others to our cause. The only requirement for this position is that you already have an established social media presence on both platforms.

In return for your time, you will receive a RiseUp T-shirt, acknowledgement on our website or in our newsletter, letter of recommendation if needed and that wonderful feeling of knowing you did something amazing to help one of the world's most economically challenged populations. Looking for someone who is passionate about the African continent and developing countries- previous travel to the African continent/first hand experience a plus.

We are looking for someone to start ASAP so if this opportunity speaks to you please get in touch with your contact info. and why this opportunity appealed to you.
