Toronto digital organizers, can you help us?

Our Media & Digital committee is responsible for all of the tools and technologies related to digital organizing: website, email list, social media, contact management and databases. There are only three of us that maintain these tools, so we're looking for a few talented, passionate, motivated people to make the tools work better. Toronto digital creatives, can you help us?

Why join TTCriders Media & Digital Committee?

As a non-profit political advocacy organization, we're all unpaid volunteers on the Media & Digital committee. However, there are still tons of benefits to joining the committee that can benefit your professional and/or your personal goals:

If you're building your career in the media/tech/digital space, use your work with us to build your portfolio and resume
Build your network with our roster of freelance creatives in development, design, media and technology delivery
Work with a team of local, active, engaged citizens who use technology to fight for a better city
Hands-on training about how to use digital tools in an advocacy / non-profit setting
Free TTCriders t-shirt and sardines cap
Reduced rates on membership dues, entry fees and other TTCriders events

What We're Looking For

Anyone can join the committee, but we're especially looking for people who know or have an interest in:

How to quickly execute a content strategy across Facebook, Twitter, Vine, Instagram and Snapchat.
How to design flyers, postcards, infographics, cartoons and other digital content.
How to create online videos and short video clips.
How to use Wordpress or CMS platforms.
How to write passionately and convincingly about and for transit riders in Toronto.
How to plan, execute and deliver a robust communication strategy.

This advocacy work averages about 5 hours/work per week, plus a monthly team meeting. We are looking for people who are able to commit for one year or longer.
