What are the responsibilities and job description for the Social Media Manager position at For Us, By Us PGH?
For Us, By Us PGH — Social Media Manager (Outreach & Events Committee)
About the Organization
For Us, By Us PGH is a grassroots nonprofit led by and for LGBTQ people. We’re building the kinds of spaces we’ve longed for — places of connection, healing, learning, and truth-telling. Through peer support, storytelling, LGBTQ education, and community-based mental health advocacy, we help LGBTQ people feel seen, held, and empowered — while working to transform the systems that care for us.
Our vision for queer healing is rooted in diagnosing and treating both external and internal barriers to wellness. While many organizations do vital external work — fighting legislation, supporting housing, organizing pride — we also center what happens inside: the internalized shame, homophobia, transphobia, racism, and grief we carry.
This is both external and internal work. Real liberation means healing inside and out. Internal healing external action = a strong, resilient (but also tender and thriving) LGBTQ community. Less suffering, more love. That’s the dream.
We are deeply committed to heart-led leadership, collective care, and community healing. This work is personal — and we believe leadership should be too. Our values are: Rooted in connection, Grounded in truth, Empowered by love, Led with bravery, and Held in vulnerability.
