Description
Are you passionate about protecting pollinators? Do you have a knack for getting stories into the media? Swarmed is looking for a Volunteer Media & Outreach Coordinator to help raise awareness about how communities can rescue bee swarms instead of exterminating them. Your work will help connect the public with beekeepers, ensuring more honey bee colonies are saved this spring.
About Swarmed
Swarmed is a volunteer-run, community-driven project that helps people report and rescue bee swarms by connecting them with local beekeepers. Every year, thousands of honey bee swarms end up exterminated simply because people don’t know what to do. We make it easy for anyone to find help.
Swarmed isn’t a company or startup—it’s a public resource built by and for beekeepers and local communities. Since its launch, Swarmed has facilitated the rescue of over 2,000 swarms, helping beekeepers relocate them to safe new homes instead of losing them forever.
What You’ll Do
Pitch stories about honey bee conservation and swarm rescues to media outlets across the U.S.
Secure coverage in newspapers, magazines, blogs, and podcasts.
Write compelling press releases and media-friendly content.
Help run social media outreach to spread the word.
Develop media toolkits so local beekeepers and community groups can share Swarmed’s mission.
Engage with journalists, bloggers, and influencers to increase visibility.
What We’re Looking For
Some experience with media outreach, PR, or journalism (or a willingness to learn!).
Strong writing skills and an eye for a great story.
Passion for pollinators, conservation, or community-driven initiatives.
Ability to work independently and take initiative.
Social media savvy—especially with Instagram, and Facebook.
What’s in it for you?
Make a direct impact by helping communities save thousands of bees.
Gain hands-on experience in media relations, nonprofit communications, and grassroots advocacy.
Flexible, remote work—volunteer from anywhere.
Join a dedicated group of beekeepers, conservationists, and community members working together for a cause.
Time Commitment
Roughly 3-5 hours per week, with flexibility based on your availability.
This is a fully volunteer-run project, and your contribution will help grow a public resource that makes a real difference. Want to help? We’d love to hear from you!
Best,
Mateo Kaiser
