About Mentor A Promise
Mentor A Promise (MAP) is a New York City nonprofit supporting children and youth ages 5–18 experiencing housing instability. Through mentorship, literacy, creative expression, storytelling, and community engagement, MAP creates safe, consistent spaces where youth voices and lived experiences are honored with dignity.
MAP’s storytelling platforms—The Bells I Hear and Threads of Voices—use long-form and short-form media to explore youth resilience, culture, housing justice, creativity, and human connection.
About the Role
The Podcast Video Editor is responsible for transforming recorded podcast conversations into high-quality, thoughtful video content for YouTube and social platforms. This role ensures that stories are edited with care, clarity, and respect—preserving tone, context, and intention.
This is not fast-turnaround content editing. It is ethical storytelling through visual craft.
Key Responsibilities
• Edit full-length podcast video episodes for YouTube and digital platforms.
• Create short clips, highlights, and reels for social media promotion.
• Sync and balance audio and video for clarity, pacing, and professionalism.
• Apply basic color correction, framing adjustments, and visual consistency.
• Incorporate MAP branding elements (intros, lower thirds, outros) when provided.
• Collaborate with Podcast Producer and Hosts to align edits with narrative intent.
• Organize project files, drafts, and final exports in shared systems.
• Support captioning and accessibility workflows when required.
• Check and respond to emails daily, with responses within 48 hours.
• Take responsibility for performance improvement by incorporating feedback and refining workflows.
Qualifications
• Experience editing video content (podcasts, interviews, documentaries, or digital media).
• Proficiency with video editing software (Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar).
• Strong sense of pacing, storytelling, and visual clarity.
• Ability to meet agreed-upon timelines with consistency.
• Sensitivity when working with personal, community-centered, or youth-adjacent stories.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
Bonus (Not Required)
• Experience editing for YouTube or social media platforms
• Knowledge of captioning or accessibility standards
• Familiarity with nonprofit, advocacy, or storytelling work
• Bilingual or multilingual abilities (Spanish or Haitian Creole preferred)
Commitment
• Volunteer role, approximately 5–8 hours per week
• Minimum 6-month commitment preferred
• Remote collaboration via Google Meet
• MAP values consistency and care over urgency or burnout
What You’ll Gain
• Meaningful storytelling experience with real community impact
• Portfolio-ready podcast and digital media work
• Collaboration with producers, hosts, and creative teams
• Professional references and letters of recommendation
• The opportunity to help amplify voices with respect and intention
