Role Overview

We’re looking for a passionate and creative Volunteer Social Media Manager to help tell the stories behind our conservation projects and amplify the voices of our partners around the world. You’ll help shape our digital presence and grow our community, highlighting our work like marine conservation projects, camera-trap research, and AI-enabled monitoring initiatives.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants hands-on experience in nonprofit communications, conservation storytelling, and digital strategy, while making a real impact on global environmental protection.

Responsibilities

  • Create engaging content for Instagram, LinkedIn, and X/Twitter (posts, reels, stories, graphics).

  • Maintain and execute a consistent posting schedule aligned with project updates.

  • Work closely with our founders and project leads to highlight fieldwork, workshops, research, and community partnerships.

  • Curate photos, videos, and stories from our projects in Indonesia, Latin America, Africa, and the Pacific.

  • Track engagement metrics and suggest creative ideas to increase reach and impact.

  • Uphold our messaging around ethics, community empowerment, and science-based conservation.

What We’re Looking For

  • Passion for conservation, biodiversity, or environmental justice.

  • Experience managing social media accounts (personal or professional).

  • Strong writing and visual storytelling skills.

  • Basic design skills (Canva, Adobe Express, etc.) are a plus.

  • Ability to work independently and communicate clearly.

  • A creative mindset with an eye for impactful, clean, minimalist visuals.

  • Optional but appreciated: experience with NGOs or science communication.

What You’ll Gain

  • Hands-on experience leading social media strategy for a growing international NGO.

  • Direct exposure to conservation projects using cutting-edge tools (AI, satellite imagery, drones, ecological modelling, camera traps).

  • The chance to collaborate with scientists, local communities, and global partners.

  • Flexibility and autonomy in shaping Conservation Mind’s voice and digital identity.

  • A meaningful contribution to real conservation impact and community empowerment.
