Position: One individual student

Throughout the year, we recognize events and holidays that are relevant to our extended online community, including Indigenous youth and Elders, queer youth and adults, new Canadians, Black youth, and young people facing economic and social barriers. We are looking for an individual to create graphics, populate our Reel Youth social media calendar, and schedule posts them on our online platforms. We hope you can:

• research and present options for a social media calendar platform
• populate it with relevant annual dates that relate to the work we do
• provide insight into youth and Northern perspectives on annual events
• create draft social media graphics using Canva for twitter, instagram, and facebook

We hope you have:

• Research and graphic design skills
• Expertise with social media platforms
• A self-starting attitude and ability to communicate clearly
• A social justice orientation

10-15 hours per week for a total of 80 hours

We believe this project will require:

• Research to define our unique brand position and create consistent promotional messaging
• Expertise in social media platforms
• Using tools like Canva and Adobe Creative Cloud to design prototypes that can be implemented into our marketing collateral

The student would be paired with a primary staff member who will be the point of contact to oversee tasks and be available as necessary to meet and provide guidance. The student would be part of our small team and join in conversations around best practices in the work we do, and how best to serve the communities we work with. Would also be involved in weekly staff meetings.
