Event Manager (Social Friday)

Social Friday reinvents the end of the workweek by transforming unproductive Friday hours into a global tradition of purpose, teamwork, and impact—connecting businesses, nonprofits, and communities through hands-on engagement.

Fridays are the least productive time of the week. Work slows down, focus fades, and hours are lost. Social Friday isn’t just a project—it’s a movement. A global tradition in the making that transforms the least productive hours of the week into moments of connection, impact, and purpose, where doing good becomes a habit. Beyond one-time events, Social Friday is designed to scale into a lasting global movement, embedding social impact into work culture and everyday life.

Volunteer Role Description (remote, unpaid)

GOT A KNACK FOR CREATING UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES? LET’S TURN THAT INTO IMPACT. If you’re not just planning events but crafting moments that truly matter, then you’re exactly where you belong.

This isn’t about organizing another coffee break or corporate lunch. It’s about creating a space for connection, community, and purpose. It’s about bringing people together to challenge the norm, spark meaningful conversations, and transform Fridays into something far greater than just the end of the workweek.

If you believe events can be powerful tools for change—not just logistics, but experiences that leave a mark—then Social Friday is ready for your ideas, your energy, and your leadership.

Together, we’ll redefine what it means to come together, give back, and make every Friday a celebration of doing good.
