Job Description
Ashoka works alongside extraordinary individuals who have dedicated their lives to solving some of the world's most complex challenges. Social entrepreneurs, philanthropists, business leaders, investors, educators, artists, and community builders often share a common characteristic: they see possibilities where others see obstacles.

Architects Of Possibility is a Conversation Series Designed To Capture The Stories, Ideas, And Experiences Of People Who Are Building a Better Future. The Inaugural Interviews Will Take Place Tuesday, June 16th, During The Social Venture Network (SVN) Annual Gathering In Santa Fe, Where Leaders From Across Business, Philanthropy, Entrepreneurship, And Social Innovation Will Come Together To Explore What It Means To Create Positive Change In Today's World. These Conversations Will Be Thoughtful, Authentic, And Personal. Rather Than Focusing On Resumes And Accomplishments, We Will Explore Questions Such As

What experiences shaped your commitment to change?

What gives you hope right now?

What lessons have you learned from failure, uncertainty, or adversity?

What does courageous leadership look like today?

What possibilities do you see that others may be missing?

The goal is to create a collection of stories and insights that inspire action, deepen understanding, and help people imagine new ways forward.

Responsibilities
We are looking for a creative and collaborative videographer who can help bring these conversations to life. You will support the production of a series of short‑form video interviews and social media clips recorded during the SVN Gathering. Responsibilities may include:

Setting up and managing audio and video equipment

Recording interviews and conversations

Assisting with lighting and sound

Capturing behind‑the‑scenes footage and event highlights

Helping identify compelling guests and stories

Supporting the creation of short clips for LinkedIn and social media

Providing general production and creative support throughout the event

Depending on experience and interest, the volunteer may also assist with editing and post‑production.

By Partnering With Ashoka Here You Will Gain

Direct access to an extraordinary community of social entrepreneurs, philanthropists, investors, and business leaders

Hands‑on experience helping launch a new interview series from the ground up

Opportunities to build your portfolio with meaningful and mission‑driven content

Exposure to powerful conversations and ideas shaping the future of social impact

Networking opportunities with leaders across sectors

While this project begins at the SVN Annual Gathering, our intention is for Architects of Possibility to become an ongoing platform featuring leaders and innovators from around the world. For the right person, this volunteer role could evolve into a continuing volunteer, freelance, or contract opportunity helping produce future interviews, episodes, and storytelling initiatives.
