Seeking Help

I’m looking for a thoughtful, motivated Outreach & Social Media Coordinator to join a multimedia project that traces the evolving face of Buddhism and spiritual practice in contemporary America.

This project is rooted in storytelling—capturing voices, images, and sanghas that reflect a quiet but powerful transformation happening across the country. If you have a strong interest in Buddhism, mindfulness, or contemplative traditions, and you’re excited by meaningful outreach and creative expression, this could be a beautiful fit.

🔍 Position Overview

In this role, you’ll help grow and engage our community by:

• Connecting with local sanghas, publications, and media outlets to identify potential collaborators and participants.
• Creating and managing engaging content for social media platforms to share project updates, highlight stories, and foster dialogue.
• Making phone calls and sending personalized outreach emails to nurture relationships and introduce the project to new audiences.
• Coordinating and executing thoughtful email campaigns to keep our growing network informed and inspired.
• Keeping detailed records of outreach activity, follow-ups, and community engagement efforts.

✨ Ideal Candidate

You might be the right person if you:

• Are a warm, clear communicator—both in writing and over the phone.
• Have experience creating content and managing social media accounts (especially Instagram, Facebook, or Substack).
• Are familiar with tools like Mailchimp, Google Sheets, or Canva (or willing to learn).
• Can stay organized and self-directed in a flexible, creative workflow.
• Feel comfortable engaging with Buddhist communities, practitioners, or spiritual organizations from a place of humility and respect.
• Believe in the power of storytelling to build bridges and shift culture.

🌸 Nice-to-Haves

• Familiarity with Buddhist lineages or sangha culture (especially in the U.S.)
• Experience working on grassroots media, documentary, or community-driven projects
• Visual design or light video editing skills (but not required)

📩 How to Apply

If this speaks to you, send a brief note sharing why you’re interested, along with any links to social media accounts you’ve managed or outreach projects you’ve contributed to.

We’re not just building a book—we’re building a living archive of Dharma in America. And I’d love for you to be part of it.
