unearthD is a youth-led organization that cultivates a community rooted in sustainability, creativity, and action. We’re on a mission to empower young people to connect with the land, live more consciously, and build a greener future together. 
We’re looking for a Social Media Coordinator (Volunteer Position) who is motivated, creative, and enthusiastic to help grow our online presence and engage our community.
What You’ll Do:
- Plan and Execute Campaigns: Support the design of social media content for events and initiatives (e.g., clothing swaps, workshops, clean-ups) from idea to post—brainstorm themes, create visuals, write captions, and coordinate publishing schedules.
- Design Custom Graphics: Use tools like Canva, Adobe Illustrator, or Photoshop to create branded visuals that reflect our voice and values. (No need to know all, familiarity with any is great!)
- Create Multi-Format Content: Craft posts, Instagram carousels, stories, reels, and digital flyers that bring our work and events to life.
- Contribute to Brand Development: Help improve and evolve unearthD’s brand guidelines, support the creation and consistency of visual elements like colour palettes, fonts, layout templates, iconography, and tone of voice.
- Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with the team to ensure event promotions are cohesive, timely, and aligned with broader storytelling goals.
- Engage the Community: Schedule content, help manage our feed, and uplift community voices by spotlighting local events, partners, or grassroots projects.
Who You Are:
- You’re passionate about sustainability, climate justice, and community-building.
- You enjoy using social media as a tool for storytelling and impact.
- You’re proactive, collaborative, and always open to learning.
- You care about visual clarity, design, and maintaining a consistent brand voice.
- No experience needed—but a sample of your work would be appreciated (a past post, a Canva graphic, even a meme!)
Bonus Points:
- Comfortable with Canva, Photoshop, Illustrator or similar design tools
- Interested in climate justice, youth organizing, or community-based change
- Photography or video editing skills for social content
- Interest in branding, event promotion, or content strategy
- Familiarity with content scheduling tools
What You Get:
- Real experience designing and delivering digital campaigns for a mission-driven organization
- A chance to co-develop unearthD’s brand identity
- Support from a caring, collaborative team
- A platform to grow your content creation and digital storytelling skills
- Reference letter and mentorship opportunities
- A welcoming space to contribute, grow, and be part of something meaningful
