volunteer: Community Ambassador — grow ScoutBot subscribers in Nigerian student communities #58

@kamsirichard

Description

@kamsirichard

What we need

ScoutBot currently has ~500 subscribers. We want to reach 1,000+ by end of 2026 through organic community outreach — no paid advertising.

We need people who are active in Nigerian student communities (WhatsApp groups, Twitter/X, Discord, Reddit) to spread the word.

Why this matters

Every new subscriber is a Nigerian student who gets a weekly email of curated opportunities. More subscribers = more people finding scholarships and fellowships they'd otherwise miss.

Exactly what to do

WhatsApp groups (highest conversion):
Share this message in every Nigerian student group you're in:

ScoutBot is a free bot that emails curated scholarships, fellowships, and internships for Nigerian students every Sunday. Subscribe here (30 seconds): [subscription link]

Twitter/X:
Post once per week featuring one opportunity from the Sunday digest. Tag @YouthHubAfrica and relevant student accounts.

Tracking:
Report your reach monthly — which groups you posted in, how many people you think saw it, any feedback you heard.

Skills needed

None beyond social media and knowing Nigerian student communities.

How to apply

Comment below with:

  • Which Nigerian student communities you're active in (WhatsApp groups, Discord servers, university forums)
  • Estimated reach (number of members across communities)
  • When you can start

You can also start immediately — no approval needed. Just share the link and comment here to let us know you did.
