About the Azgari Foundation

The Azgari Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity dedicated to providing tuition-free, 100% online workforce training and career pipelines for young people ages 14–25. We focus heavily on opportunity youth—including young adults aging out of foster care or exiting the juvenile justice system. Through live, professional instruction in digital skills, AI tools, marketing, and web development, we help our students bridge the gap from earning to owning a stable career. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

We are expanding our impact and need a creative visionary to amplify our voice, tell our students’ stories, and rally an active online community around our mission.

About the Role

We are looking for a high-energy Social Media Manager to take complete ownership of our digital presence. In this all-in-one role, you will act as our "Social Media Unicorn"—evolving from a high-level strategist to a hands-on video creator and proactive community builder.

If you are a social-native storyteller who understands what makes content go viral, knows how to engage audiences on a human level, and is passionate about changing the lives of at-risk youth, we want you on our team.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategy & Brand Messaging: Establish a unique digital voice for The Azgari Foundation, identifying core content pillars that resonate with donors, community partners, and future students. [1]
• Viral Content Creation: Concept, script, and edit high-impact short-form videos (TikToks, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts) and static graphic posts that tell compelling stories about workforce training and economic mobility. [, 2]
• Scheduling & Publishing: Maintain a consistent content calendar using third-party scheduling tools to automate delivery and maximize visibility across channels.
• Community Engagement: Regularly monitor our comment sections and direct messages, crafting thoughtful responses to build an interactive, supportive online community.
• Active Growth Outreach: Execute daily proactive outreach to mission-aligned creators, corporate partners, workforce advocates, and local organizations to organically build a following and spark vital conversations.

Qualifications

• Social Media Native: Deep, practical knowledge of Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn algorithms, current audio trends, and platform features.
• Creative Storyteller: Strong video editing skills (CapCut, Canva, Premiere) with a knack for high-converting hooks and impactful visual pacing.
• Mission-Driven Voice: Exceptional written communication skills, with the ability to write engaging captions and talk respectfully about sensitive topics surrounding at-risk youth.
• Self-Starter: Highly organized and capable of independently managing content pipelines in a remote team environment.
• Experience Level: Ideal for digital marketing freelancers looking for an impactful case study, students aiming to build a standout portfolio, or seasoned social professionals looking to give back.

What’s In It For You?

• Creative Sovereignty: Direct control over creative direction and strategic execution without corporate red tape.
• Portfolio Acceleration: Real-world metrics, growth data, and content campaigns you can leverage to secure future high-paying client work or roles.
• Radical Flexibility: Work from anywhere on your own schedule, provided content schedules and outreach targets are met consistently.
• Professional Endorsement: A glowing letter of recommendation, digital portfolio reference, and LinkedIn recommendation from our leadership team upon successful completion of your term.
