Public Health Nutrition writers for social media posts.

The goal is to increase the following to the Nutrition Opportunities Worldwide LinkedIn platform and help develop other social media platforms and revamp the organizations webpage. We are looking for students enrolled in nutrition/public health/international development or dietetics who are knowledgeable and interested in doing technical writing about nutrition and food security related subjects. By posting regularly we have managed to increase our LinkedIn following from 1000 in January to almost 10,000 followers. Most of our followers are based in lower-middle income countries and are nutrition and or development professionals who appreciate the well curated, credible, nutrition information we are sharing with them. We aim to get to 12,000 followers by the end of the student contract.
