The Steven Spectrum Career Project is a mission-driven nonprofit dedicated to empowering neurodivergent individuals with workforce development, mentorship, and inclusive employment opportunities. We believe in the brilliance, potential, and talents of the neurodivergent community, and we're ready to amplify that message. Now, we’re looking for someone just as passionate and creative to help us do it.

About the Volunteer Role:

Are you a creative soul with a proven track record of building online communities, growing followings, and creating content that sparks connection? Do you have experience running engaging campaigns that don’t just get likes, but start conversations and inspire action? We’re looking for a Volunteer Social Media Content Creator & Engagement Specialist who will take our social media presence to the next level.

You’ll be the voice and heartbeat of our digital community, crafting compelling content, building an authentic presence, and inviting others to believe in (and support) our mission.

What You’ll Do:

1. Develop and implement a content strategy to grow our presence on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Youtube, and other relevant platforms.
2. Create and post visually compelling, mission-aligned content (graphics, videos, reels, stories, and carousels) that highlight our programs, stories, and impact.
3. Increase engagement by initiating and responding to comments, messages, and shares with a warm, mission-driven voice.
4. Collaborate with our team to tell powerful stories—featuring volunteers, program participants, partners, and more.
5. Work with the brand team to develop a strategic plan.
6. Create and manage a content calendar to ensure a consistent and strategic posting rhythm.
7. Analyze performance metrics and adjust strategy to continuously improve reach and impact.
8. Help us create social campaigns around major initiatives (e.g., events, training programs, donation drives, etc.).

What We’re Looking For:

1. Proven experience managing social media for a brand, nonprofit, or campaign—with results to show for it (please include links!).
2. Deep understanding of platform trends, best practices, and storytelling across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Youtube.
3. Strong design sense and/or video editing skills using tools like Canva, CapCut, Adobe Express, or similar.
4. A voice and tone that are relatable, engaging, inclusive, and aligned with our mission.
5. Passion for inclusion, neurodiversity, and creating real social impact.
6. Self-starter with strong communication and collaboration skills.
7. Bonus: Experience working with nonprofits or social causes!

What We’d Love to See in Your Application:

1. Links to social media accounts or campaigns you’ve managed (personal or professional).
2. Examples of posts or content you’ve created that show your creativity and ability to inspire engagement.
3. A short paragraph on why our mission resonates with you.

Why Volunteer With Us?

1. Be part of a powerful movement that supports overlooked but incredibly gifted individuals.
2. Use your creative superpowers for a meaningful cause.
3. Build your portfolio, grow your network, and gain nonprofit marketing experience.
4. Join a passionate, warm, and inclusive team that values your voice.
5. Flexible hours and fully remote.

Note: This is a volunteer role and is not paid. However, the impact you’ll make will be invaluable, and we’re happy to write letters of recommendation and support your growth in any way we can.
