What is social media volunteering? 📲
Social media volunteering involves helping an organisation create, publish or manage content on social networks. Activities may include preparing posts, managing content calendars, producing photographs or short videos, interacting with online communities and supporting digital campaigns. The work should be a genuine part of the volunteer role, rather than simply sharing personal experiences online.
Social media tasks and skills
Depending on the project, volunteers may help with writing, photography, video editing, graphic design, scheduling posts, community management or reviewing basic engagement statistics. Some hosts seek experienced social media managers, while others welcome beginners who can work with guidance.
Social media overlaps with marketing and other creative roles, but they are not interchangeable. Ask which platforms you would work on, what content is expected and whether the host provides equipment, software or editorial guidance.
