Social Media Manager & Content Calendar

We're looking for a volunteer to help us save time and be more strategic with our social media presence. Specifically, you'll create a template for a one-month social posting calendar that we can leverage to make managing our multiple social media channels easy. You'll draft copy for up to ten posts and make recommendations to customize our content to optimize it for different platforms. We currently source most of our social media postings through a platform called Feedbird. We would like a volunteer who is able to dedicate 2-3 hours a week to assisting us in developing social media content through this platform. We would also like to hear what experience you may have in social media channel growth strategies.

You're a great fit for us if you're passionate about our mission, you have a background in managing professional social media accounts.

This project will play a vital role in advancing The AND Foundation’s mission to empower high school students in the Chicagoland area through STEAM education, creative expression, and proactive alternatives to gun violence. By establishing a clear and consistent social media presence and developing a strategic content calendar, this volunteer-led project will enable us to more effectively reach students, families, donors, and community partners.

A well-organized digital communication strategy is essential for broadening awareness of our programs, increasing engagement, and driving participation in events such as our STEAM summer camps, scholarship programs, and community outreach initiatives. This effort will also support fundraising and advocacy goals by ensuring our messaging is timely, mission-driven, and aligned across platforms.

Ultimately, this project will strengthen the foundation’s ability to connect with the communities we serve, highlight our impact, and build long-term support for the youth we champion.

To prepare for the project, we will provide you with our events calendar and other relevant social media handles of organizations that are pillars in our sector. You'll have access to a file of photos, logos, a list of our hashtags, and our general social media strategy/guidelines for what content should be posted across each platform.
