Social Media Assistant

Readeezy, a digital library for struggling teen and older readers, is seeking highly organized and capable Volunteer Social Media Assistant to join our team. As a Social Media Assistant, you will work closely with the Readeezy team to strategize and turn ideas into compelling visuals and messages that resonate with our target audience.

About our Readers

Readeezy’s target audience consists of struggling, disabled older readers; therefore, we focus on publishing high-interest, low-reading-level stories that have illustrations on every page. These types of stories are engaging for their age group and can be easily read and understood by them. Unfortunately, a lot of books that are accessible to struggling readers are tailored towards elementary students. Older students are not interested in the juvenile content of these books, which leads to them refusing to read, which leads to them continuing to struggle. Our vision is to create a digital library that will help them enjoy the activity of reading again.

Readeezy stories are 3,500-4,000 word stories written at a 3rd or 4th grade level with 5-6 chapters.
