The Role

The Youth Communities Social Media Assistant is a contracted role that works closely with the Digital Engagement Managers and Youth Communities Organizer and creates authentic, peer-driven digital content designed to reach non-college 18–30 year olds. The assistant produces content: event recaps, day-in-the-life clips, peer testimonials, and behind-the-scenes moments that feels genuine and relatable to the target demographic, not overly polished or corporate.

What You'll Do

• Film and produce short-form digital content (event recaps, day-in-the-life clips, testimonials, behind-the-scenes footage)
• Attend events and outreach activities to capture authentic, in-the-moment content
• Edit and package content for platforms where non-college young adults spend time (e.g., Instagram, TikTok)
• Collaborate with peers and community members to source genuine testimonials and stories
• Work with the Digital Engagement Manager to align content with overall messaging and campaign goals
• Track content performance and engagement metrics to inform future content decisions
• Stay current on platform trends, formats, and best practices for reaching this demographic

Who You Are

• Experience creating digital content like filming, editing, or social media management
• A strong eye for what feels "authentic" vs. overly produced, especially for a young adult, non-college audience
• Comfortable being both behind and in front of the camera
• Familiar with short-form video editing tools/apps (e.g., CapCut, Premiere Rush, native platform editors)
• Self-motivated and able to turn around content quickly, especially around live events
• Available for evening/weekend hours to capture events as they happen
