About the Role

You’ll work alongside the Brand Development & Marketing Officer, who sets the overall brand and channel strategy. Your part is bringing that strategy to life online through thoughtful content, community engagement, and your own creative ideas.

Ways you might contribute

Your focus will shift with current priorities, and you and the Brand Development & Marketing Officer can decide where your time is most useful.

• Content. Plan and publish posts, design graphics in Canva, create or repurpose short-form video, and turn newsletter, event, and campaign updates into social content.
• Community. Keep an eye on comments, messages, mentions, and opportunities to engage with the broader LA climate community in a consistent, on-brand way.
• Channels. Keep profiles, links, highlights, and other channel details current across Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Threads.
• Ideas & partnerships. Bring forward trends, creative ideas, cross-promotion opportunities, and potential influencer or content-creator collaborations.
• Performance. Track engagement and audience growth, share what you’re noticing, and help with simple monthly reporting.
• Coordination. Stay connected with the Editorial Lead and broader marketing team so content calendars, campaigns, and timing stay aligned.

You might enjoy this if

You love storytelling and social media, notice trends without chasing every one of them, and have a good eye for voice and visual consistency. You’re comfortable creating for an organization rather than a personal account and enjoy balancing creativity with an established brand. Experience with Canva, social media management, short-form video, or nonprofit and event marketing is welcome but not required.

What you can expect from us

• Clear direction. The Brand Development & Marketing Officer will give you the brand framework, priorities, and context behind key decisions.
• Room to create. You’ll have space to bring your own ideas and judgment to the day-to-day work while staying within the broader strategy.
• Experience you can use. You can document appropriate content, campaign results, and community-management work for your portfolio, and CF leadership can provide a professional reference upon completion of the engagement.
• Tools and context. We’ll help you learn LACW’s brand voice, visual guidelines, scheduling and analytics tools, and how social fits into the broader editorial calendar.
• Accommodations. If a change in scheduling, communication format, or another aspect of the role would help you participate, tell us, and we’ll work with you.

Los Angeles County is home to many communities, and our work is stronger when the people helping shape it reflect that range. If you’re a person of color, disabled, LGBTQ+, or part of another community underrepresented in nonprofit social media and marketing, we’d especially like to hear from you.

Time and terms

• Time. About 10 hours a week for approximately six months, with flexible scheduling.
• Location. Most work is remote and async, with a weekly 45-60 minute remote check-in with the Brand Development & Marketing Officer.
• LA Climate Week. During April 2-12, 2027, additional availability will be helpful for real-time posting and community monitoring. We’ll plan for that period together in advance.

This is an unpaid volunteer role reporting to the Brand Development & Marketing Officer. You give your time freely, with no expectation of pay now or in the future. It is not employment and not a pathway to a paid position.

Los Angeles Climate Week is a program of Collidescope Foundation.
