Design of announcements for YPWC

Details

Mission and objectives

YPWC is a youth led and youth focused organisation that is headquartered in Ghana, with additional satellite offices in the United Kingdom and Canada. The organisation is operated by a combination of young people (aged 10 to 35 years) and adult allies working on youth- and development-related issues worldwide. YPWC was founded in December 2005. The mission of YPWC is: to educate and inform youth on global issues; inspire them to take action; encourage youth participation in global issues; identify and build sustainable partnerships aimed at youth development; and provide young people with the tools and resources required for effective action. Its vision is to provide a ‘youthful voice’ that represents the youth of our world. By effectively using young resourceful minds to influence the course of global policy formulation and development in a consistent and harmonized manner, YPWC seeks to address the numerous challenges facing young people today. Herein lies the main strength of YPWC – it is an organisation led by young people, for young people. Based on the philosophy of participatory learning, YPWC inspires and supports youth action by creating a platform. This allows for youth to translate their knowledge and desires into action, whilst simultaneously involving young people in decision-making regarding key developmental and global issues.

Context

YPWC was established over 10 years ago. We mainly work with and for young people. However, we have not had the opportunity of presenting our information in a graphic format that will appeal to young people who follow up especially on social media. In 2022, we are looking for an online volunteer who will work with our social media team to produce useful graphics that communicate our activities and opportunities for young people's engagement in community development and their personal development.

Task description

The Graphic Designer for putting announcements in a visual creative format across our social media platforms. For instance, in the lead-up to key events such as workshops or conferences, we will ask the designer to put the announcement in an image format. Also during the week, we will require some motivational messages to be put in an image that can be shared on our social media platforms for young people. Content will be provided and it will be up to the designer to put it in a nice image format that is sharable.
