About Foundations

Foundations, Inc. is a nonprofit organization committed to improving educational opportunities in schools, after school, and in communities. We partner with schools, districts, nonprofit organizations, and education leaders to strengthen the programs, systems, and people that support children and communities.

We are a collaborative, flexible, and professional team dedicated to helping educators and programs thrive.

The Role

This role is well suited for someone who enjoys turning ideas and information into compelling social content and wants to use those skills to support a mission focused on education and opportunities for young people.

What You Will Do

• Create, schedule, and publish social media content based on established communications priorities and the editorial calendar.
• Develop written, graphic, and short-form video content that communicates Foundations' work, impact, events, and resources.
• Maintain the working social media calendar and manage assignments, deadlines, and content status in Monday.com.
• Monitor social media comments and messages during scheduled work time, respond as appropriate, and flag items requiring additional follow-up.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience creating social media content for an organization, business, school, nonprofit, campaign, or other professional setting.
• Strong writing skills and the ability to create clear, engaging social media content tailored to different platforms and audiences.
• Ability to create basic graphics and short-form video using tools such as Canva, CapCut, or similar platforms.
• Strong organization, follow-through, and ability to meet deadlines while working independently.
• Good judgment about when to move work forward and when to ask questions or seek approval.
• Openness to feedback and ability to incorporate revisions efficiently.
• Interest in using communications and social media to advance the work of an education-focused nonprofit organization.
• Familiarity with social media scheduling and management tools.
• Availability for occasional in-person, evening, or weekend work around major events.

Experience in education, nonprofit, mission-driven, or youth-development organizations, event social media coverage, or paid social advertising is a plus.
