Virtual Fundraising Coordinator – Help Prevent Utility Shutoffs (Remote / Service Hours Available)

About Lights Back On:

Lights Back On is a Georgia-based nonprofit dedicated to providing emergency utility assistance to families facing financial crises in Gwinnett, DeKalb, Fulton, and Cobb counties. We step in to keep the lights, heat, and water on for vulnerable households, ensuring stability and peace of mind when they need it most.

The Opportunity:

We are launching a virtual doughnut fundraiser through GroupRaise to benefit our Emergency Assistance Fund, and we need motivated, tech-savvy Virtual Fundraising Coordinators to help us spread the word. Because this campaign uses digital vouchers redeemable at any local storefront, this entire opportunity is 100% virtual and can be done from anywhere!

This is a fantastic opportunity for high school or college students needing verified community service hours, or anyone passionate about digital marketing, community organizing, and housing stability.

Key Responsibilities:

• Digital Outreach: Share our GroupRaise campaign link across social media platforms, neighborhood networks (like Nextdoor), and community forums.
• Peer-to-Peer Mobilization: Set up your own fundraising "captain" link to rally friends, family, and colleagues to support the cause.
• Content Amplification: Utilize our digital toolkit to post engaging content explaining how a dozen doughnuts directly prevents utility shutoffs for families in need.

Time Commitment & Service Hour Tracking:

This opportunity is highly flexible and task-based. To support students and volunteers requiring verified service hours, we use a transparent, milestone-based tracking system rather than logging screen time:

• Orientation & Setup (1 Hour): Reviewing our digital campaign packet and setting up your custom tracking link.
• Digital Toolkit Promotion (2 Hours): Actively sharing, posting, and managing digital outreach across your networks.
• Peer-to-Peer Milestone (3+ Hours): Coordinating a mini-team or hitting baseline sales goals to unlock additional certified service hours.
• We will gladly provide signed verification letters or log hours into school portals (like x2VOL) upon successful completion of the project.

Qualifications:

• Reliable internet access and a smartphone or computer.
• Active on at least one social media platform or community network.
• Strong communication skills and a passion for helping families in crisis.
