Description

Make your mark on a growing community – one post at a time. 

Kamloops Pickleball Club (KPC) is a vibrant, fast-growing sport club with over 500 active members ranging from casual players to passionate competitors. We’re looking for a motivated student to help us level up our social media and public presence — and we want your ideas. 

This isn’t a content grind. It’s a chance to step back, take a strategic look, and shape how we communicate who we are. Training will be provided by our Project Liaisons. Volunteers will receive clarification of the project objectives, along with an orientation to our club's mission, structure, website and available resources.  

 


Our Project Liaisons will also be available to provide on-going support throughout the project: facilitating collaboration and communication between the project team and Kamloops Pickleball Club and working with the team to keep the project moving forward. 

 


What You’ll Do 

  • Audit our existing social platforms, and possibly our newsletter and website 

  • Identifywhat’s working, what’s missing, and what could be more engaging 

  • Propose a social media strategy that fits a volunteer-run club 

  • Develop sample content ideas such as member stories, club updates, or rule tips 

  • Create a lightweight content calendar and plug-and-play templates future volunteers can easily use 

  • Bonus: If you have ideas for creative formats — video, photo stories, reels — we’re open 

What You Bring 

  • You’re studying communications, marketing, journalism, digital media, or something adjacent 

  • You understand what makes content engaging and community-driven 

  • You can write in a warm, friendly, inclusive voice — or are willing to learn 

  • You’re organized, creative, and interested in building something sustainable 

 


What You’ll Gain 

  • Hands-on experience in strategic content planning and communications 

  • A tangible project for your portfolio or resume 

  • Mentorship from club volunteers with professional experience in tech, business, and marketing 

  • A collaborative environment where your voice matters 

  • The opportunity to support a local community and see your work in action 

 


Time Commitment 

  • Flexible hours, approximately 2–4 hours per week 

  • Mix of virtual and in-person collaboration based on your preference and availability 

  • Ideal for a 2–3 month project window (to be confirmed based on your schedule)
