The Philippines experiences almost all types of natural-induced hazards such as typhoons, flooding, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions to name a few. Part of the CDRC advocacy work on climate change and disaster risk reduction is raising awareness on Community-based Disaster Management and other related issues to community development work. One way of raising awareness is posting educational materials and documentaries from the ground on social media.

What can I do?

You can use your skills by being a CDRC volunteer! Social media made raising awareness in disaster management easier. CDRC has a rich collection of materials for awareness raising, however social media gets more cluttered and congested with sorts of information. You can provide us with a fresh perspective on the best way to educate the public.

Content Writer will:

1. Create IEC materials for CDRC’s social media platforms
2. Pitch content ideas
3. Create a social media/awareness raising/educational plan for social media
4. Repurpose IEC materials of CDRC for another round of dissemination in schools
5. Work with LPD and volunteers (graphic artist and video editors) to produce graphic and video materials

How can I be a volunteer content writer?

It’s very easy! Just attend our online orientation on ----. It will depend on your availability. We will schedule everything after the orientation.

You need also to have experience in creating social media content for institutions like us.
