TikTok Recovery And Strategy

We’re looking for a skilled volunteer to help us with two key objectives related to our TikTok presence:

Retrieve and regain access to our official YALDA TikTok account, which we have been locked out of due to login issues.

Develop and implement a compelling TikTok content strategy tailored to youth engagement across Africa and the diaspora.

We would like the volunteer to:

Assist with the recovery process (account retrieval, troubleshooting, and contact with TikTok support if needed)

Audit our current TikTok content (if access is restored) or review comparable youth-led accounts

Create a light yet impactful TikTok content calendar and growth strategy aligned with our mission

Work with our Communications Team to pilot and implement content ideas

We estimate this will require around 3–5 hours per week for several weeks, depending on the recovery timeline and content planning needs.

YALDA is a pan-African, youth-led nonprofit focused on empowering young Africans through leadership, collaboration, and sustainable development. TikTok is a critical platform for us to reach and mobilize African youth, especially Gen Z, where they already spend their time and build movements.

This project will help us:

Reclaim our digital voice on one of the most impactful youth platforms

Build consistent, meaningful engagement with young people across Africa

Share youth-led development stories, leadership highlights, and opportunities in a format that resonates with our audience

By helping us rebuild and relaunch our TikTok presence, the volunteer will be directly contributing to a continent-wide youth empowerment effort that partners with the African Union, UN agencies, and hundreds of universities across Africa.

We’ve identified this project as a top priority within our Communications and Outreach workstream, and our team is ready to collaborate closely with the volunteer.

To ensure a smooth and impactful experience, we have:

Centralized login credentials and documentation for attempted account recovery

A responsive Communications Team member ready to act on your instructions and feedback

A list of TikTok content ideas previously created by our youth volunteers

A network of 10+ YALDA branches eager to contribute to short-form video content once we go live

The volunteer’s recommendations will be immediately implemented as part of our refreshed digital strategy, and they will have the opportunity to shape both the back-end and creative side of our TikTok relaunch.
