Help Launch a Global EA Climate Fundraiser: Volunteer Social Media Manager for the World Climate Relay

By Jennifer Stretton 🔸️ @ 2025-11-26T08:51 (+12)

We’re looking for a reliable, skilled, and proactive Social Media Manager to join the volunteer team powering the World Climate Relay—a new global movement aiming to raise $100,000 for the Giving Green Fund and engage participants from 50+ countries in our first year. 

Commitment: ~ 5 hours per week (more from 5–12 June 2026)
Deadline: Get in touch with us by 10th December. Starting around 5th January (Flexible)
Contact: Jennifer (co-founder of World Climate Relay) at info@worldclimaterelay.org

Important: We welcome applicants who haven’t formally managed a social media platform before. Experience is valued, but commitment and reliability matter most. If you have other skills you would like to lend to our project, please also get in touch.

Overview

As far as we know, this is the first global EA fundraiser for the climate. We aim to use our platform to raise significant funds for effective climate charities, while also bringing the ideas of effective giving to a completely new audience. 

You’ll be a tight-knit team of nine experienced volunteer professionals, specialists in fundraising, events, marketing, design, and business. You’ll have full support from our graphic designer and founding team—we collaborate closely, share workload, and provide clear direction and resources. While we do value autonomy (we each have our own areas of responsibility), you’ll never be left to figure things out on your own.

A Note About The Team & Expectations

This is our first year, and while we don’t yet have funding to pay staff, we are building something ambitious: our goal is to grow the World Climate Relay into a global, annual movement capable of raising tens of millions for high-impact climate solutions.

Every member of the team, including the founders, contributes their expertise on a volunteer basis alongside full-time jobs. We treat this project professionally, and we value people who are reliable, skilled, and committed. For that reason, we set high standards even though the role is unpaid: we want someone who takes ownership, communicates well, and delivers what they commit to, just as the rest of the team does.

What you get in return is the chance to make a meaningful climate impact, be part of a motivated and fun team, and bring EA ideas to a broad audience.
