What are the responsibilities and job description for the Volunteer: Video Editing for Social and Donor Engagement position at Read Better Be Better?
This is a volunteer opportunity provided by Taproot Foundation, a nonprofit creating social change through pro bono connections.
Edit raw video clips into polished short-form social media clips and 1-3 longer videos for donor communications and grant proposals. The volunteer will assemble and refine footage into final deliverables; preferred lengths, captions, and branding can be discussed at the kickoff.
These videos will let RBBB share the stories of young readers and youth leaders, raise awareness of our literacy work, strengthen fundraising and grant applications, and recruit supporters and volunteers. Volunteer contributions will directly help RBBB expand reading support for children.
We will provide raw clips, brand assets, messaging guidance, a single point of contact, and feedback on drafts. Specific timelines and any additional materials will be shared during scoping so volunteers can focus on editing, revisions, and final packaging.
Read Better Be Better Mission: Read Better Be Better (RBBB) was founded by Sophie Allen-Etchart in 2014 in Phoenix as a response to Arizona’s literacy crisis. The state is ranked 45th in the nation for childhood literacy and 48th for PreK-12th education. Currently, 66% of 3rd graders from families of low-income in Arizona do not read at grade level and often are unable to make the necessary transition from “learning to read” to “reading to learn” by 4th grade. Students who do not read at grade level by the end of 3rd grade are four times for likely to graduate from high school. But with proper reading intervention, there is an 89% chance that students who can read at grade level by the end of 3rd grade will graduate from high school, irrespective of socio-economic status. RBBB’s mission is to connect young readers and youth leaders to inspire a love of literacy and learning in order to create a society in which all children master the foundational skills necessary to become independent learners. Read Better Be Better inspires and equips middle school youth leaders to help third-grade students with reading comprehension. The program uses an evidence-based curriculum that empowers both students.
