Digital Marketing & Social Media Lead: Supporting Youth Impacted By Parental Substance Use Stigma

Starlings Community is a volunteer-powered non-profit that supports youth growing up with the stress and stigma of a parent’s substance use. We’re looking for a creative, values-driven Digital Marketing & Social Media Lead to help us amplify youth voices, grow our community, and share stigma-free stories of hope and healing.

Who You Are:

You have lived experience with the stigma or stress of a parent’s substance use, and want to use your story or insight to create change.
You understand social justice, equity, and trauma-informed storytelling, and bring empathy and intention to how stories are told.
You’re comfortable in front of a camera, whether it’s recording short videos, reels, or sharing peer messages.
You’re passionate about helping youth and peers feel seen, heard, and empowered.
You have an understanding of harm reduction and trauma healing.

What You’ll Do
Develop and schedule engaging social media content (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.) that speaks to youth and young adult audiences (16–28).
Create posts, reels, and campaigns that share Starlings’ message and elevate peer leaders and lived-experience voices.
Support digital storytelling campaigns (e.g., Rights in Motion, Forward with Hope, Peer Mentorship stories).
Collaborate with youth leaders and the communications team to build consistent, hopeful messaging.
Track engagement and help grow our reach through thoughtful, authentic connection—not algorithms alone.

Requirements
3-5 hours of availability per week. 
Experience with digital marketing or social media content creation (Canva, Instagram Reels, TikTok, or similar).
Organized and self-directed, able to meet timelines while working collaboratively.
Strong writing and communication skills; able to adapt tone for youth and professional audiences.
Understanding of anti-stigma, trauma-informed, and equity-based approaches.
Willingness to appear in or co-create video content.
Comfortable using tools like Canva, Google Drive, and Wix (training provided if needed).

Why Join Starlings?
You’ll be part of a peer-led, healing-centered movement that believes hope starts with connection. Your work will help youth and families find support without fear or shame—and build a future where their voices lead change.
