ESC: Social Media Volunteer Who Loves Telling Stories
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The Romanian Angel Appeal Foundation (RAA) is dedicated to making a meaningful impact on the lives of children and young individuals facing challenges, including those dealing with chronic diseases like HIV/AIDS or Tuberculosis. Our mission goes beyond conventional support – we provide comprehensive medical, psychological, social, and material assistance. Moreover, we go a step further by building networks, conducting training courses, engaging in research, running campaigns, and advocating for change.
Internationally, our commitment extends to EU-funded projects focusing on critical areas such as autism, translational research infrastructure, prevention research, and the prevention of tuberculosis and HIV among vulnerable groups. RAA stands out for its emphasis on environmental sustainability in its organizational development strategy.
In response to the refugee crisis sparked by the war in Ukraine, RAA has proactively expanded its services, particularly in youth work and non-formal education, creating a safe space for youth, a space where everybody is welcomed, no matter of religion, nationality, sexual orientation or the country of provenience, a space where the newcomers are feeling integrate and where the youth is growing exploring their interests and passions. This space is our Youth Hub, a vibrant space where we curate and implement daily activities for youth, including projects supported by international donors and the Erasmus+ program.
💼 What the programme involves
We’re looking for a curious, creative volunteer who enjoys filming, editing, experimenting with trends and finding fun, meaningful ways to show what youth work looks like in real life.
RAA Youth Centre in Bucharest is a lively place where Romanian and international teenagers join workshops, creative sessions, community events and school activities. Your role will be to help us capture these moments and share the energy of the Youth Hub with the world. Find out more: https://raa.ro/en/
What you’ll actually do:
• Join our daily activities to capture content (photos, videos, stories)
• Create short videos for TikTok and Instagram Reels
• Edit and colour-correct photos
• Experiment with trends and come up with fresh ideas
• Help manage our online community: respond to comments, share stories, keep the vibe alive
• Work with the communication team to plan posts and draft an editorial calendar
• Participate in trainings on video editing, storytelling and youth communication
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will live in a shared 3-room apartment (3 volunteers/apartment - might be of same or different sex) in a safe area with easy access to public transport. They receive 300 EUR/month for food and 120 EUR/month as pocket money. RAA covers international travel to and from Bucharest, as well as local public transport during the volunteering period.
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteer will receive hands-on training from the RAA communication team on video editing, photography, content creation and youth-friendly communication. Depending on activities, the volunteer may also join short modules or longer training sessions on storytelling, working with young people and understanding the Youth Hub environment. Guidance and support are provided throughout the entire period.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: We are looking for a volunteer who is curious, creative and comfortable working with social media. You don’t need to be a professional content creator, but you should enjoy filming, editing short videos, experimenting with trends and telling stories in an authentic way. An interest in Instagram, TikTok and youth-friendly communication is essential.
The ideal volunteer likes being around young people, feels confident joining activities to capture moments and is open to learning by doing. Basic English is needed, and any additional language is a plus.
We welcome volunteers who are open-minded, patient, willing to try new ideas and able to work as part of a friendly, multicultural team. No previous experience in NGOs is required — just motivation, curiosity and a positive attitude.
