Graphic Designer (Content Creation)

Our content is planned around showcasing our organization’s journey and commitment to nature protection, regeneration, and education. If you have experience as a graphic designer, animator, documentary movie maker, Marketeer, or if you think you can come up with relatable and engaging social media posts, your expertise would be beneficial to us. Experience with social media strategy and digital marketing is a plus. 

Who we are:

Welcome to Viable Community, a non-profit organization rooted in the European Union. At the heart of our mission is the establishment of community-managed projects dedicated to the preservation and regeneration of nature. We are currently a community of 50 active volunteers and envisioning a project which is in the conceptual/development phase that aims to combat desertification in Extremadura, Spain. We will cover the soil with solar panels (AgriVoltaics) and give space to indigenous vegetation. We then integrate regenerative agriculture to create an opportunity for people to invest, as well as donate their time, money and efforts.
