Save to Favorites

Unity Bands Inc. is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit project supporting low income healthcare workers and at-risk communities. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn how a nonprofit project plans and operates to support a community need. Responsibilities for video production may include but not limited to:

• Story board and plan short videos for social media and website
• Work with President and Board of Directors on identifying requirements for videos
• Produce dynamic, relevant videos for social media and website
• Assisting in the creation and refinement of scripts, project concepts, and other materials.

Requirements:

• Experience with and access to video production software. For example, Pinnacle Studio or Camtasia.
• Basic knowledge of social media platforms including Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook
• Pursuing or completed a bachelor's degree in film, media, management, production, or a related field.
• Ability to collaborate with a team virtually
• In-depth knowledge of video production processes and activities.

Tasks delivered to volunteer will be based upon skill level, experience, or ambition. Why are we doing this? The underpaid but essential health care workforce in America comprises nearly 7 million people in low-paid health jobs including health care support workers, direct care workers, and health care service workers. According to Brookings, over 80% of health care support, service, and direct care workers are women and are also disproportionately people of color. Charitable dollars from the community typically wane within the initial three to six months after a disaster (issuelab.org). In the case of COVID-19, media attention has shifted to other topics. Spreading awareness about the challenges healthcare workers are facing and the community support are two ways Unity Bands can help right now based on a recent survey conducted. "Continue supporting us. Just the little things that bring a smile and can make things better," said one healthcare worker.
