We are looking for a social media content creator for our organization, Fostering Promise. You can find us www.fosteringpromise.org
We need someone who is willing to take ahold of this without much guidance, we are happy to share any basic resources related to our organization but most of that can be found directly on our website. With that being said, the posts would be related to current topics/stories that may apply to the work we do (new policies shared by the governor , or even current projects or events we are hosting). The papers written on our policies can be found on our website too and these are a great resource for you to get an understanding of what we atre needing. It would be great to have someone who could create a handful of posts for us to use over a few weeks (we generally like to post at least 2-3 times a week).
This may be a great volunteer project for students who are looking to get some hands-on experience in this line of work, but anyone with social media content creation experience would be highly preferable.

We are committed to advocating for youth-driven policies that ensure every young person who ages out of foster care has a safe place to call home, the hope for a promising future, and the support of a caring mentor.
André Chapman founded Unity Care in 1993 with a mission to improve the lives of foster youth and families. As CEO for nearly 30 years, he led the organization’s growth, providing education, employment, housing, and mental health services to over 7,500 clients annually in Northern California.
In July 2022, Chapman stepped down to focus on ending homelessness for youth aging out of foster care. Fostering Promise, his new venture, aims to secure stable housing and brighter futures for these young people through advocacy, partnerships, public education, and community engagement.
Fostering Promise's roots trace back to 2018, when Unity Care’s Youth Advisory Council, in partnership with the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, held discussions involving 7,000 community members. These conversations, led by foster youth, highlighted key challenges and resulted in 13 policy recommendations published as "Community-Driven Housing Priorities in the San Francisco Bay Area."
In October 2022, Chapman teamed up with UC Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy and Master’s student Emma Barash, organizing meetings with policy makers, educators, and foster youth. Barash’s thesis identified four key policies for eradicating homelessness among former foster youth, forming the foundation for Fostering Promise’s future work.
