    Description

    About Us

    F.O.U.N.D. is a nonprofit supporting people navigating life’s "pauses" - moments of change due to relocation, visa status, caregiving, or personal transitions. Our mission is to offer care-based, multilingual, and community-rooted support.

    We’re seeking a Volunteer Community Outreach Interviewer/Content Creator with some prior related experience to help us grow our online presence, engage our community through street interviews, gather valuable insights, and amplify diverse voices.

    What You’ll Do

    • Conduct street interviews and capture authentic stories from community members in New York.
    • Help create engaging content by filming, recording, or writing interviews for use on social media platforms.
    • Ask prepared questions and accurately record responses.
    • Stay on top of online trends and suggest creative ways to present interviews (reels, clips, posts, etc.)
    • Represent F.O.U.N.D in a positive and approachable way during community interactions.
    • Collaborate with the communications team to brainstorm and plan content ideas.

    What We’re Looking For

    • Strong communication and people skills; comfortable speaking with strangers.
    • Interest in social media, content creation, or storytelling.
    • Awareness of online trends, viral formats, and what resonates with online social media.
    • Basic filming, editing, or social media posting skills are a plus, although it is not a requirement.
    • Outgoing, approachable, and reliable.
    • Currently reside in New York City.

    What You’ll Gain

    • Hands-on experience in content creation, community engagement, and storytelling.
    • The opportunity to practice interviewing, video creation, and trend-based content.
    • A chance to contribute your creativity to amplify F.O.U.N.D’s mission and community voices.
