Student Jobs

SweetBeasts is a Madison‑grown plushie startup with a mission to fight food insecurity through community‑driven impact. For every plushie sold, SweetBeasts helps fund at least one meal through trusted hunger‑relief partners.

Born from firsthand experiences volunteering at local food pantries, SweetBeasts was created in response to the widespread and often unseen reality of food insecurity, an issue affecting nearly one in three students at the UW–Madison alone. Our fruit‑inspired plushies are designed to offer comfort while symbolizing nourishment, hope, and collective action.

As we grow, so will our community's voice, proving that small united actions can create lasting change.

SweetBeasts is looking for an experienced short‑form video editor to help us keep pace with our rapidly growing social media presence. We are currently running a viral Instagram campaign on @sweetbeastsjourney, where we’ve gained over 60,000 followers in just a few weeks.
