  • Partner Impact Storytelling : Produce written stories that highlight the success of Blue Star Families’ partnerships, drawing from interviews, impact data, and program highlights. Content may be used across digital platforms, press, and reports.
  • Additional Writing Projects : On an as-needed basis, develop original written content as assigned and mutually agreed upon by Blue Star Families and the contractor. Projects may vary by campaign, seasonal need, or program focus.

  • Strong portfolio showcasing persuasive, narrative, and informational writing
  • Ability to conduct independent research and interviews
  • Proficiency in writing for both digital and print formats
  • Familiarity with military families, nonprofit communications, or cause-based storytelling a plus
  • Skilled in using collaborative tools (e.g., Google Workspace, project management software) while maintaining autonomy
  • Ability to meet deadlines and manage multiple projects simultaneously
  • All services shall be delivered in accordance with agreed deadlines and milestones. Payment structure to be outlined in a separate contract. BSF shall not direct how services are performed — only that deliverables meet agreed results.
