Social Media & Communications Manager (Volunteer)

A&N Career Services Project is a career services and workforce readiness initiative supporting individuals as they navigate career transitions, build readiness, and connect with opportunity. Our work centers on practical guidance, employer engagement, and community-informed programming that strengthens career pathways.

The Project is currently in its launch and growth phase. Volunteers joining at this stage will contribute to establishing the foundation, voice, and systems that support our programs and partnerships as they expand.

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Volunteer Social Media & Communications Manager to lead the planning and execution of our social media presence during a defined 12-week engagement beginning February 2026.

This role requires strong writing skills, sound judgment, and the ability to operate independently. You will help shape how A&N Career Services Project is represented publicly, ensuring our communications are clear, consistent, and aligned with the quality of our work.

Volunteer Engagement Format

This role is open to volunteers participating virtually, and all core responsibilities can be completed remotely. Collaboration will take place primarily through shared tools, documentation, and virtual meetings throughout the cohort.

An orientation will be held at the start of the cohort to welcome volunteers, provide context on the Project, and support early connection. For volunteers who are not able to attend in person in Atlanta, GA, the orientation experience will be fully adapted for virtual participation, ensuring all volunteers receive the same foundational information and onboarding support.

Some roles may include optional or role-specific in-person activities when aligned with the nature of the work. When applicable, these details will be clearly outlined in the individual position description. Location is not a factor in the contribution or the professional value of the volunteer experience.

All volunteers, regardless of location, will have access to the same onboarding materials, role expectations, mentorship opportunities, and cohort touchpoints aligned with their role.
