    Description

    About the role

    Ready for a feel-good role with real impact? Advance affordable housing on Long Island and turn our Habitat for Humanity home store from a best-kept secret into a community staple.

    If you’re upbeat, mission-driven, and love creating scroll-stopping content, this role is for you. You’ll create, post, and engage across our channels, capture photos/videos on building sites and at our Habitat ReStore, and turn analytics into simple insights that grow our community.

    What you’ll do

      • Plan, create, schedule, and publish content for Habitat Long Island and our home store (ReStore) across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube—tailored to each platform.
      • Actively engage followers through comments, DMs, reviews, and social listening
      • Capture on-brand photos and short-form video; organize and maintain our photo/video library.
      • Grow followers, reach, and engagement using experiments, A/B tests, and simple content calendars.
      • Update our websites
      • Support wall-raises, dedications, and ReStore promotions; occasional evenings/weekends for events.
      • Pitch in with related tasks as needed.

    What you’ll bring

      • Enthusiasm for our mission and a positive, proactive communication style.
      • 2+ years of hands-on social media experience/digital content creation
      • Strong writing, editing, and captioning skills with attention to accuracy and tone.
      • Exceptional photo/video skills and comfort creating Reels/shorts.
      • Experience with email marketing (Mailchimp/Constant Contact), WordPress, Google Analytics 4, basic SEO, and simple ad setup.
      • Reliable transportation to sites across Long Island.

    Why you’ll love it

      • Make a real impact for local families.
      • Variety every week - build sites, store features, donor spotlights, volunteer stories.
      • Room to learn, try new ideas, and grow your skills.

    How to apply

    Please submit your résumé and either a portfolio link or 3–5 sample posts (captions + visuals). If you have one, include a quick mock idea for a ReStore weekend promo.
