Viral Video Clip Creator – Social Media (Volunteer)

 

Note: This is a remote, part-time volunteer position. Please do not apply if you are only seeking paid employment.

 

Help drive visibility through short-form video storytelling that gets noticed.

 

We’re looking for a Viral Video Clip Creator to help us launch a new initiative aimed at posting quick, compelling video content — the kind that sparks interest and builds traction online. If you’re plugged into current events, have an eye for viral moments, and enjoy quick-turn creative work, we’d love to work with you.

 

Who We Are

WhoWhatWhy is a nonprofit investigative news organization producing deep-dive journalism on the most pressing issues of our time. We’re powered by skilled volunteers and a small core staff — from students to seasoned pros — who believe in ethical, independent journalism free from corporate or political influence.

 

About the Role

As a Viral Video Clip Creator, you’ll:

• Watch live or recorded news clips to identify strong social content opportunities
   
• Pull and trim short video moments (10–90 seconds) for use on social platforms
   
• Add captions, commentary, or overlays to enhance shareability
   
• Collaborate with teammates to ensure consistent branding and tone
   
• Work closely with contributors like Araya, Tracey, and Jason to test and refine the concept
   

 

What We’re Looking For

• Strong instincts for what captures attention on social media
   
• Comfort with basic video editing tools (CapCut, Descript, iMovie, etc.)
   
• Interest in political media, storytelling, and audience engagement
   
• Proactive and self-directed — able to flag moments worth amplifying
   
• Bonus if you have experience posting viral content or working in fast-paced creative roles
   

 

What You’ll Gain

• A chance to shape a high-visibility video content initiative
   
• Real-world content creation and collaboration experience
   
• Flexible, remote work with a creative and mission-driven team
   
• Portfolio-building work that showcases both creativity and news awareness
   

 

Commitment

We ask for a commitment of 5–7 hours per week and a minimum of 6 months. Flexible scheduling, though some availability during peak news hours is a plus.

 

How to Apply

Please send:

• Your resume or LinkedIn profile
   
• A short note telling us why this role interests you
   
• Optional: A link to previous video work (especially social content)
   

To confirm that you’ve read this description, include the phrase “Committed to the Mission” and the result of 12 ÷ 3 somewhere in your message.

If you can’t attach your note, email it to [email protected]. Check your spam folder — responses sometimes land there.
