Save to Favorites

Give N’ Grow Sports, Inc., DBA Give N' Grow Basketball (GNG) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that uses basketball to elevate the physical, emotional and mental health of adolescents.

Give N’ Grow Basketball recognizes that depression, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and teen suicide are increasing worldwide, which is why elevating the mental health of adolescents in a productive, uplifting way is GNG’s utmost priority.

GNG has consulted with a bevy of experts in the fields of sports psychology, developmental psychology, childhood education, and therapy and life coaching to ensure that its curriculum integrates the most essential and effective mental health skills for K-5th graders to develop during adolescence: mindfulness and social and emotional learning (SEL).

GNG has combined these key mental health skills with the most popular youth sport in the United States, basketball, to ensure that students are engaged in its programming.

To execute this mission we put on live and virtual events - including holistic health assemblies and clinics - to immediately impact K-5th graders and inspire them to join our weekly virtual WIN Workouts for an ongoing holistic health impact.

This is the perfect opportunity for young professionals with an entrepreneurial spirit who are passionate about impacting the mental, emotional, and physical health of youth, but don’t currently have the years of experience necessary to serve on an established nonprofit board of directors.

As a member of our Next Gen Board, you’ll play a pivotal role in the success of our start-up nonprofit and make an immediate impact with your skillset and presence. This position will give you the nonprofit experience you’ll need to serve as a nonprofit board member in the future - potentially our board!

Our Next Gen Board is a working board that executes projects vital to developing our start-up nonprofit, and because we’re a young and small team, you’ll be making an immediate and massive impact on our organization.

As a member of our Next Gen Board, you must have time weekly to contribute towards projects that are helping us move forward. The time per project varies, but our current Next Gen Board members typically spend approximately 1-2hrs/week on their projects.

In the role of social media lead, your projects will be as follows:

• Create/post 3 emotional social media posts/week
• Content will come directly from students and our weekly virtual workouts with the kids
• Basically you screen grab the moments from class that we have identified as good content, trim it, and turn it into reels, posts, igtv videos, etc
• It just needs to be repurposed into emotional driven content
• Incorporate donation asks into each post to drive crowdfunding
• Potentially managing intern to help execute the content creation
• This is one of the most rewarding next gen board positions we have because you get to directly witness the growth and benefits the kids are experiencing during the program

Commitment:

• Looking for at least a 6mth minimum commitment
• This position will probably be closer to 3 hours of volunteer work per week depending on how fast the content can be created/posted (ongoing)

Experience Wanted:

• Experience creating engaging/emotional content / captions (specifically video content)
• Experience with basic video editing
• Experience engaging influencers is a plus
• Experience growing a social media following organically is a plus
