Our Social Media team is crucial in bringing visibility to the dogs that we have saved and want to save. BARK Rescue CA is a 100% foster-based, 100% funded by donations, and 100% volunteer-run. Social media has been crucial in getting donations that we use to take care of the dogs that are currently in our foster care or in boarding. Social media has also been crucial in getting voluntary foster families whom we rely on to shelter and take care of the dogs that we have rescued from stressful shelter environments and/or from euthanasia that is caused by shelter overcrowding.

We need volunteers to join our Media Team to perform any one or more of the following responsibilities :

• Create content for our Instagram account (@barkrescue_ca), OR our Tiktok account (@barkrescueca), OR our YouTube Channel. Creating content for our YouTube channel also includes editing the content with a video editor.
• Create a social media content calendar to plan out content for our Instagram, Tiktok, and/or YouTube accounts & delegate the content creation responsibilities to others in the social media team (if there are others in the team). This can be done on a monthly basis or a weekly basis, depending on your preference/availability.
• Review the content created by others in the social media team before posting the content in the respective social media platform(s).
• Engage social media audience (you can do this for our Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, or YouTube). This includes responding to comments and/or messages.
• Analyzes the analytics of any of our social media platforms & come up with key recommendations to improve our performance/engagement on that platform.

We understand that as a volunteer you have other responsibilities outside of our organization, so we will work with your schedule. We do not expect you to do all of the above bullet points (unless you actually have the time to do all of the above bullet points.
