3. SSH Social Media Manager:
SSH needs help managing the Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, and Instagram accounts. The position will entail a little bit of work on the Facebook page, too. Applicants must have experience with each platform and be able to devote around three hours per week to managing these accounts.

4. International Anti-Street Harassment Week Manager:
International Anti-Street Harassment Week will be held April 12-18, 2015. It will be the fifth year of activism.
Leading up to the week (Dec – early April): We need someone who can help manage the #EndSHWeek social media-specific accounts, reach out to groups and people to invite them to participate, follow-up with past participants, update the website, develop new flyers for 2015, work with translation volunteers to translate materials, find media contacts and outlets to pitch, and other duties as relevant. You will have weekly check-ins with SSH Founder Holly Kearl.
During the week: We need someone who can help dedicate time every day to searching online for photos and articles about activism happening by participants (they are often slow to send links or never do – so SSH has to do a lot of searching) and then sharing them on the SSH blog, photo album, and social media accounts, help manage the daily tweet chats, and also, ideally the person will hold or participate in an offline event.
After the week (late April): Following up with participants to hear about their events. Continuing to look online for actions that took place. Compiling links.
This position will require about 5-10 hours/week leading up to April. During April it could be up to 15-20 hours per week.
The position would begin in December 2014 and run until the end of April 2015 (5 months). This position will pay a small stipend of $500/month ($2,500 total).
Apply by October 1, 2014.
