Content Creator / Creative Volunteer

We are inviting emerging content creators, storytellers, videographers, editors, designers, and social media creativeswho are looking to build real-world experience while contributing to deep, community-rooted mental health and trauma advocacy in Canada.

Our organization is preparing to launch and promote Brainly, a new trauma-responsive mental health app focused on education, regulation, accessibility, and care without surveillance. Over the next 6 months, this app will be the central focus of our digital storytelling, outreach, and engagement efforts.

This is an opportunity to co-create content that matters, gain hands-on portfolio material, and be credited for work that supports real systems-level change.

Who This Is For

This opportunity is ideal for someone who is:

Building or refining a content creation / social media / digital storytelling portfolio

Interested in mental health, trauma-informed care, accessibility, advocacy, or social impact

Curious about YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Reels, Shorts, or cross-platform storytelling

Looking for practical experience, mentorship, and credited work

Aligned with ethical storytelling (not performative, not exploitative)

You do not need to be an “expert.” You do need curiosity, reliability, and care.
