Black Power Blueprint seeks volunteers to plug in to these roles:
Graphic Design for Black Power
The Black Power Blueprint and our Africans One Billion Strong Campaign seeks graphic design volunteers to help us promote our organization through social media. This is an excellent opportunity to donate your skills to the African working class struggle for economic independence. This is a remote role.
Responsibilities:
- Create infographics, promotions, and social media images for events and campaigns, in adherence to deadlines and our style guidelines
- Work closely with Social Media team to design graphics based on our content calendar
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required:
- Proficient in graphic design tools, specifically Adobe CS (such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, dreamweaver) and other design software.
Graphic Designers for Social Justice
The African People’s Education and Defense Fund needs a graphics designer to develop print materials for our One Africa! One Nation! Farmers Market vendor training. We are bringing a food oasis to the north St Louis black community which experiences severe food apartheid with lack of fresh food and produce. We need someone to design print materials – flyers, posters and a vendor handbook. You can either volunteer for this current project or participate for a longer period on our Promotions Team which will be designing various materials for events, workshops and outreach activities.
Grant writers/researchers for social justice
We want volunteers to research grant opportunities online and assist with writing grants. You would be part of a volunteer team writing grants primarily for the Black Power Blueprint project of the African People’s Education and Defense Fund. This project represents a powerful solution to ongoing problems faced by the Black community! Research: Ability to research grants online and record information in Google docs and spreadsheets. Writing: Ability to write effectively and concisely using Google docs. You will learn a lot about the processing of writing and submitting grants if you don’t have experience. And if you have experience, all the better!
