Volunteer: Video Editing for Social Media
Must Love Dogs and Comedy, New York, New York, us, 10261
Overview
This is a volunteer opportunity provided by Taproot Foundation, a nonprofit creating social change through pro‑bono connections.
Responsibilities
Video editing: Cut and edit raw show footage into compelling clips that capture the laughter, adorable dogs, and community atmosphere of our events.
Platform optimization: Format videos appropriately for each platform (vertical for Reels/TikTok, various aspect ratios for Facebook).
Visual enhancement: Add captions, text overlays, transitions, and effects that make content accessible and engaging.
Trend application: Incorporate trending sounds, formats, and editing styles while maintaining our brand identity.
Pacing and storytelling: Create videos with strong hooks in the first 3 seconds and clear narrative arcs that showcase our mission.
We’ll collaborate 2‑5 hours per week to review footage, provide direction, and approve final edits.
Impact
More dogs finding homes: Engaging video clips drive followers to our shows, which means more fundraising for rescue partners (we’ve raised $30K+) and more visibility for adoptable dogs. A viral video could mean dozens of new adoption inquiries.
Career growth for diverse comedians: High‑quality performance clips help the 500+ women, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and POC comedians we’ve booked grow their own audiences and land future opportunities. Your edits become portfolio pieces that advance their careers.
National visibility: Shareable video content attracts new audiences beyond NYC, helping us expand to new cities and prove that comedy and compassion can thrive together anywhere.
Support
Organized content library: Raw footage from our shows is compiled and organized by event, ready for your creative touch.
Brand guidelines: We have established visual style, mission messaging, and tone to ensure consistency.
Content direction: We’ll provide a content calendar and strategy (or clear priorities) so you know what types of videos to create.
Platform access: You’ll have access to our social accounts to understand what’s resonated with our audience.
Quick feedback: Our founder will provide timely reviews and approvals to keep videos moving to publication.
Immediate use: Every video you create will be posted and promoted through our channels, email list, and partner networks.
Growth opportunity: We recently secured a BuzzFeed partnership for a televised comedy special, so your work supports exciting momentum.
