Volunteer Savvy Social Media Person for National Meatballs for Muscular Dystrophy Campaign (Feb - May 2025)

What will you be doing?

You are a self-starter, a strong communicator, with social media experience, looking to make an impact. If you love meatballs or not, this is a campaign that's already caught the attention and support of many top chefs! It's a foodie fundraiser with a simple goal ~ to leverage the campaign by engaging the nation's appetite throughout the month of March 2025 by encouraging for example social influencers to get behind the campaign and help make more Muscle Dreams a reality! We are looking for a savvy social media volunteer to help us drive the campaign forwards. With support from MHF's CEO, you will have full autonomy across our social channels to help make the campaign an even greater success in 2025. You'll have bags of energy, initiative and strong communication skills. This is a short term 4-month project. We have most assets already in place. The key deliverable is to amplify awareness, exploiting social media by posting messages that will help generate campaign awareness and engagement. With your help, we want to make lots of 'social noise' in the lead up to March 2025. Ideally, you will start this voluntary opportunity in Jan 2025, building the social momentum across Feb, then into the campaign month of March, pushing the momentum into April where the 2025 campaign will draw to a close.  In addition to MHF's CEO, you will work with 1-2 volunteers, with copy-writing and creative graphic skills, making sure that messaging is aligned and has impact across our social platforms. We believe this role will lend itself brilliantly to someone who may not only be a bit of a foodie but who can also see the opportunity and who CAN MAKE THINGS HAPPEN - we've no doubt that it will be a fun short-term project, with tons of flexibility. We'll support the volunteer as much as we possibly can to ensure that 2025 is a success. Got a creative flair? Got great digital skills? Know how to leverage Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn? If so, we so want to hear from you. And finally, do you watch those fun foodie TV shows? Maybe you know some chefs or restaurant chains? Maybe, just maybe, you know people that might be interested in partnering with us on this campaign? If so, let's talk!
