What if something you wrote helped a teenager turn their life around?

Millions of young people are growing up surrounded by addictive algorithms, endless scrolling, anxiety, and digital distractions—while missing essential skills for navigating real life.

We're building something to change that. And we need an extraordinary storyteller.

JakeyMac Foundation is launching SmartFast™, a screen-free audio learning movement that helps young people build confidence, resilience, digital safety awareness, and critical life skills thru engaging audio lessons and real-world challenges.

We're looking for a gifted ghostwriter and editor who can turn powerful ideas into stories teenagers actually want to hear—and parents feel compelled to share.

Your Mission

• Write stories that stick: Create compelling 35-page mini-books, short reports, and audio-learning scripts addressing challenges young people face.
• Make every word count: Use curiosity, tension, emotion, and unforgettable storytelling to turn complex life lessons into engaging content.
• Help mobilize moms: Develop powerful messages for our campaign that inspire families to reclaim time, attention, and real-world connection.
• Shape a movement: Edit content using StoryBrand and proven direct-response storytelling principles.

Bonus opportunity: Help craft thought-leadership articles and compelling donor narratives.

You're Our Kind of Writer If…

You understand that great writing doesn't just inform. It moves people to act.

You write conversationally, with emotion, clarity, and conviction. You know how to hook readers in three seconds, build suspense, and deliver a message they remember.

You're creative, dependable, self-directed, and passionate about helping the next generation thrive.

Experience with ghostwriting, direct-response copywriting, or youth-focused storytelling is a plus.

What You'll Gain

• Meaningful impact: Help create educational content with the potential to positively influence young lives.
• Published portfolio opportunities: Contribute to books, audio programs, articles, and national awareness campaigns.
• Direct collaboration: Work alongside Foundation leadership building an innovative educational movement.
• Purpose: Use your greatest talent—words—to help young people build better futures.
