About SurvivingBreastCancer.org

SurvivingBreastCancer.org (SBC) is a national nonprofit organization transforming how people experience breast cancer. We empower individuals and families through trusted education, meaningful community, whole-person wellness, and practical support from diagnosis through every stage of life with breast cancer.

Our growing educational library includes more than 1,000 webinars and community conversations, patient stories, expert interviews, and practical resources designed to help people better understand breast cancer and navigate life beyond the clinic.

We are seeking a creative, organized, and digitally savvy volunteer to help us expand the reach and impact of this content through YouTube.

Position Summary

The YouTube & Digital Education Manager will help grow SurvivingBreastCancer.org’s educational video library into a highly trusted and discoverable resource for people affected by breast cancer.

This role combines video editing, content publishing, YouTube optimization, audience development and engagement. The ideal volunteer understands that successful YouTube content requires more than uploading a video. It requires thoughtful packaging, compelling titles and thumbnails, strong opening moments, organized playlists, consistent publishing, and ongoing analysis.

This is an excellent opportunity for a student, recent graduate, early-career professional, or experienced volunteer interested in video production, digital media, healthcare communications, nonprofit marketing, public health, journalism, or YouTube strategy.

The right person will be able to build a meaningful portfolio while helping thousands of people access credible, compassionate breast cancer education.
