[Volunteer] Video Editor (Short-Form Content)

Are you passionate about visual storytelling, digital content, and building community online? Join us at FOUND, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting people in transition, especially those on dependent visas or in pauses.
We’re looking for a Volunteer Video Editor to help us create engaging, short-form social media video content. This role focuses primarily on YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. You don’t need to create highly complex edits, but you should understand current short-form trends and how editing choices help grab and hold attention.
What You’ll Do
Edit short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
Apply basic attention-retention techniques (strong hooks, pacing, captions, visual rhythm)
Add simple text overlays, subtitles, and light motion where appropriate
Collaborate with our Social Media Team to ensure videos align with FOUND’s tone and mission
Follow platform-specific formatting and best practices
Use Notion as a shared collaboration and project-tracking space
What We’re Looking For
Experience editing short-form video content for social platforms
Awareness of current editing trends and formats that improve engagement and retention
Ability to keep edits clean, clear, and human (not over-produced)
Comfort using at least one editing platform (CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut, or similar)
Ability to manage time independently and collaborate asynchronously
Availability to commit ~10 hours per week (flexible scheduling)
Nice to Have (But Not Required)
Familiarity with nonprofit, educational, or community-based content
Interest in mental health, immigrant communities, or storytelling with care
What You’ll Gain
Hands-on experience shaping the video voice of a growing nonprofit
Portfolio-ready short-form video work
A collaborative, thoughtful team environment
Flexible hours and remote collaboration
