    About Songs of Love

    The Songs of Love Foundation is a 29-year-old nonprofit that has created nearly 48,000 personalized “songs of love” for children and teens facing serious medical and emotional challenges. We also create personalized songs for seniors living with dementia and other serious illnesses—helping them reconnect with memory, identity, joy, and dignity.

    Each song is completely free to the family and crafted with care by our team of human songwriters and song creators.

    Opportunity Overview

    We are seeking talented and reliable Social Media & Storytelling Volunteers to help strengthen our overall digital presence so we can reach more families in need of a free, personalized song. This role is ideal for creative individuals who already have strong short-form video editing skills and want to use their talent for a meaningful cause.

    This is not a training role—volunteers must be able to create polished TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts-style content from day one.

    Your work will directly help more sick children and seniors discover our service.

    What You’ll Do

    • Edit short-form videos (Reels/TikTok/Shorts) from provided content
    • Craft emotionally engaging storytelling moments
    • Write captions, hooks, and simple on-screen text
    • Help shape and strengthen Songs of Love’s social media voice
    • Offer creative ideas aligned with current social media trends
    • Join brief Zoom check-ins and meet weekly deadlines

    Required Skills (Must Already Have)

    • Strong editing skills for TikTok/Reels/Shorts
    • Ability to create compelling emotional narratives under 60 seconds
    • Understanding of pacing, transitions, hooks, and text animation
    • Awareness of platform trends and best practices
    • Ability to work independently and communicate reliably

    What You’ll Gain

    • A meaningful creative portfolio with high-impact nonprofit work
    • Real-world experience shaping the social media presence of a national charity
    • An opportunity to help sick children and seniors through your creativity
    • Flexible remote schedule
    • College credit (where approved)
