[Volunteer] Video Editor (Short-Form Content)

Are you passionate about visual storytelling, digital content, and building community online? Join us at FOUND, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting people in transition, especially those on dependent visas or in pauses.

We’re looking for a Volunteer Video Editor to help us create engaging, short-form social media video content. This role focuses primarily on YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. You don’t need to create highly complex edits, but you should understand current short-form trends and how editing choices help grab and hold attention.

What You’ll Do

• Edit short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
• Apply basic attention-retention techniques (strong hooks, pacing, captions, visual rhythm)
• Add simple text overlays, subtitles, and light motion where appropriate
• Collaborate with our Social Media Team to ensure videos align with FOUND’s tone and mission
• Follow platform-specific formatting and best practices
• Use Notion as a shared collaboration and project-tracking space

What We’re Looking For

• Experience editing short-form video content for social platforms
• Awareness of current editing trends and formats that improve engagement and retention
• Ability to keep edits clean, clear, and human (not over-produced)
• Comfort using at least one editing platform (CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut, or similar)
• Ability to manage time independently and collaborate asynchronously
• Availability to commit ~10 hours per week (flexible scheduling)

Nice to Have (But Not Required)

• Familiarity with nonprofit, educational, or community-based content
• Interest in mental health, immigrant communities, or storytelling with care

What You’ll Gain

• Hands-on experience shaping the video voice of a growing nonprofit
• Portfolio-ready short-form video work
• A collaborative, thoughtful team environment
• Flexible hours and remote collaboration
