Company Overview
At The Young Creators and Visionaries Collaborative (The YCVC), we believe in the power of creativity to transform communities and build a more equitable future. Our mission is simple, yet profound: to make the creator economy more accessible to underrepresented voices. We are dedicated to amplifying opportunities, resources, and connections for African, Asian, Black, Brown, and Indigenous creatives, empowering them to thrive and break through barriers that have historically held them back. We invite you to become part of this exciting journey, where your passion and skills can help shape a more inclusive and vibrant creative world.
Role Overview
As a Social Media Volunteer, you’ll play a key role in amplifying the voices of these talented creatives. This isn’t just another social media management role—this is an opportunity to make an impact. You’ll be responsible for curating and creating content that represents the heart of our mission, using your creative eye to bring our message to life. You’ll manage our social media accounts—like Instagram and LinkedIn—connecting with an engaged community and driving awareness of the transformative work we do.
You’ll have the flexibility to work remotely, contributing 5-8 hours a week, but with the satisfaction of knowing your work is helping to elevate voices that deserve to be heard. You won’t just be another volunteer; you’ll be a valued member of a team working to build real change in the creative economy.
