Viral Video Clip Creator – Social Media (Volunteer)

 

Note: This is a remote, part-time volunteer position. Please do not apply if you are only seeking paid employment.

 

Help drive visibility through short-form video storytelling that gets noticed.

 

We’re looking for a Viral Video Clip Creator to help us launch a new initiative aimed at posting quick, compelling video content — the kind that sparks interest and builds traction online. If you’re plugged into current events, have an eye for viral moments, and enjoy quick-turn creative work, we’d love to work with you.

 

Who We Are

WhoWhatWhy is a nonprofit investigative news organization producing deep-dive journalism on the most pressing issues of our time. We’re powered by skilled volunteers and a small core staff — from students to seasoned pros — who believe in ethical, independent journalism free from corporate or political influence.

 

About the Role

As a Viral Video Clip Creator, you’ll:

  • Watch live or recorded news clips to identify strong social content opportunities
     
  • Pull and trim short video moments (10–90 seconds) for use on social platforms
     
  • Add captions, commentary, or overlays to enhance shareability
     
  • Collaborate with teammates to ensure consistent branding and tone
     
  • Work closely with contributors like Araya, Tracey, and Jason to test and refine the concept
     
 

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong instincts for what captures attention on social media
     
  • Comfort with basic video editing tools (CapCut, Descript, iMovie, etc.)
     
  • Interest in political media, storytelling, and audience engagement
     
  • Proactive and self-directed — able to flag moments worth amplifying
     
  • Bonus if you have experience posting viral content or working in fast-paced creative roles
     
 

What You’ll Gain

  • A chance to shape a high-visibility video content initiative
     
  • Real-world content creation and collaboration experience
     
  • Flexible, remote work with a creative and mission-driven team
     
  • Portfolio-building work that showcases both creativity and news awareness
     
 

Commitment

We ask for a commitment of 5–7 hours per week and a minimum of 6 months. Flexible scheduling, though some availability during peak news hours is a plus.

 

How to Apply

Please send:

  • Your resume or LinkedIn profile
     
  • A short note telling us why this role interests you
     
  • Optional: A link to previous video work (especially social content)
     

To confirm that you’ve read this description, include the phrase “Committed to the Mission” and the result of 12 ÷ 3 somewhere in your message.

If you can’t attach your note, email it to [email protected]. Check your spam folder — responses sometimes land there.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026
Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
