Mission and objectivesYPWC is a youth led and youth focused organisation that is headquartered in Ghana, with additional satellite offices in the United Kingdom and Canada. The organisation is operated by a combination of young people (aged 10 to 35 years) and adult allies working on youth- and development-related issues worldwide. YPWC was founded in December 2005. The mission of YPWC is: to educate and inform youth on global issues; inspire them to take action; encourage youth participation in global issues; identify and build sustainable partnerships aimed at youth development; and provide young people with the tools and resources required for effective action. Its vision is to provide a โyouthful voiceโ that represents the youth of our world. By effectively using young resourceful minds to influence the course of global policy formulation and development in a consistent and harmonized manner, YPWC seeks to address the numerous challenges facing young people today. Herein lies the main strength of YPWC โ it is an organisation led by young people, for young people. Based on the philosophy of participatory learning, YPWC inspires and supports youth action by creating a platform. This allows for youth to translate their knowledge and desires into action, whilst simultaneously involving young people in decision-making regarding key developmental and global issues.
ContextYPWC has been serving young people around the world for the past 15 years on issues ranging from education to employment, and health. We are currently looking up to engage young people through more social media and would like a volunteer who is interested in creating content to engage youth. By supporting our work you will be contributing to youth-related SDGs including Goal 2 (hunger), Goal 4 (education), Goal 5 (gender equality), Goal 8 (decent work). Moreover, volunteers will gain some understanding of youth development. We have had successful volunteers who are almost about finishing their tasks by early September 2023 so we would like volunteers who are ready to start in September once our current volunteers finish and also we will use this to also allow new volunteers to learn some good practices from out-going volunteers.
Task DescriptionYPWC is searching for 15 experienced Online Volunteers to help us create social media content to promote our visibility and profile. Tasks include developing social media posts and creating content for various social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Online volunteers will make at least eight social media posts on each platform per day. If you are available and willing to start this task in mid April 2025 for twelve week task, please apply.
