    Description

    Google Ads & Analytics Volunteer – Ideal for Students or Early-Career Marketers (Tri-Cities, TN Nonprofit)

    About This Opportunity

    Every year, thousands of young adults age out of foster care with nowhere to go. Our nonprofit helps them avoid homelessness by providing housing, guidance, and hope.

    We’ve set up a Google Ads Grant account to spread awareness and attract donors—but we need help making it work. If you’re experienced with Google Ads (especially the Grant program), we’d be incredibly grateful for your time and talent. You’ll work closely with our executive team in a friendly, flexible, and fully virtual environment.

    What We're Looking For

    • Someone experienced with Google Ads (ideally with nonprofits or the Google Ad Grant)
    • Able to audit and improve our current setup
    • Help us understand why our ads aren’t getting impressions
    • Assist in setting up high-performing ad campaigns
    • Guidance on keywords, targeting, and strategy
    • Willing to explain things simply and empower us to manage ads long-term

    Time Commitment

    • We’re flexible! Whether you have a few hours one week or prefer a regular short check-in, we’ll work around your availability.
    • One-time audit or short-term project support welcome.

    Why Volunteer With Us?

    • You’ll help vulnerable young adults find safety, shelter, and a path to independence.
    • You’ll work with a grateful, supportive team.
    • We’ll gladly endorse your work on LinkedIn or write a glowing reference.
    • You’ll see the impact of your help in real time—no fluff, just results.

    Instructions:

    We want someone local that we can meet at least once in person. After that initial meeting, 99% of the work can be done online at your convenience.

    This would be a great fit for students studying marketing, digital advertising, business, communications, analytics, or information systems. You’ll gain real-world experience managing a live Google Ads Grant account, working with Google Tag Manager and Analytics, and making meaningful impact for a nonprofit serving vulnerable young adults.

    We've already put in a lot of work building campaigns and setting up tracking through Google Tag Manager, but despite our efforts, we're still seeing little to no impressions. We could really use a fresh set of expert eyes to help troubleshoot and get things moving.
