Contract Storyteller (Communications Specialist)

Remote

C&S

Date Posted: 3/12/2026

Most institutional work is described in reports.

We’re looking for someone who can turn it into stories people actually want to read.

C&S is seeking a contract storyteller to help uncover and shape powerful narratives emerging from college campuses across the country.

These campuses are part of the College Presidents for Civic Preparedness (CP2) coalition — a network of more than 125 colleges and universities working to prepare students for civic life.

The contractor will lead the strategic and creative direction for several storytelling projects, including narrative-driven case studies and the CP2 annual impact report.

This work contributes to C&S’s broader mission: sparking 20 million young people to step up as civic problem-solvers by 2029.

Our storytelling approach is simple:
Show the work. Real people. Real challenges. Real civic problem-solving.

The Work

Over the next two quarters, you will help lead storytelling for two core projects.

Narrative Case Studies

Three case study-like outputs highlighting how members of the College Presidents for Civic Preparedness coalition are building a strong civic culture where every student can practice the essential civic skills they need to become engaged citizens.

Annual Impact Report

A publication designed to read less like a traditional nonprofit report and more like a clear, engaging narrative about what is actually happening across the College Presidents for Civic Preparedness coalition.

Rather than producing traditional communications materials packaged as PDFs, this role focuses on finding and shaping the stories that show civic learning in action.

Key responsibilities include:

• Working with the C&S team to identify compelling student-driven stories from a 125+ campus network

• Drawing mostly from an existing storybank, and developing new stories where needed

• Writing case studies, report content, and narrative storytelling aligned with the C&S brand voice

• Developing content designed to work across reports, web, and digital storytelling formats

• Providing strategic and creative direction for storytelling projects

• Collaborating closely with a C&S Marketing Director, Communications Manager, and Graphic Designer to shape final outputs 

Who This Role Is For

This role is best suited for someone who thinks of themselves as a storyteller first.

Strong candidates may come from backgrounds in:

• Content creation

• Journalism

• Editorial or mission-driven content creation

You might be a good fit if you:

• Are an exceptional digital-first writer and storyteller

• Can identify compelling narratives within complex material

• Know how to translate institutional work into clear, human-centered stories

• Enjoy collaborating with designers and creative teams

• Are comfortable working independently on project-based work

Helpful, but not required:

• Experience with higher education

• Experience with civic engagement or democracy work

• Experience producing impact reports, narrative case studies, or long-form storytelling

A Note on Fit

This role, however, is specifically designed for someone who sees themselves as a storyteller first. If your work is primarily focused on media relations, marketing campaigns, or institutional messaging, this role may not be the best fit. But if you enjoy reporting, interviewing, finding narrative threads, and shaping stories that bring complex work to life, we encourage you to submit your materials. 

Contract Details

• Type: Independent contractor

• Duration: Project-based over the next two quarters

• Location: Remote

• Compensation: Approximately $35,000 for the full project scope

Doctors of the World USA (DotW)

About Doctors of the World USA

Doctors of the World USA (DotW) is a global health and humanitarian organization that delivers medical care—and defends the right to it—where health systems are strained, collapsing, or out of reach. As part of the Médecins du Monde international network and active in more than 70 countries, DotW upholds the principle that health is a human right and responds to inequities driven by displacement, conflict, poverty, and exclusion.

In the U.S. and globally, DotW provides direct medical care, addresses barriers to access, and advocates for policies that protect the dignity, safety, and rights of migrants, refugees, and marginalized communities.

About the Opportunity

Doctors of the World USA is seeking a curious, strategic storyteller to support rights-based content and communications that reflect both its U.S. work and its role within the global health and humanitarian movement.

This role is ideal for a creative, self-directed storyteller who is adept at connecting human stories to complex global challenges and shaping them with clarity, care, and strong editorial judgment. This consultant will translate frontline experience, research, and advocacy priorities into clear, human-centered content that elevates dignity, exposes systemic barriers, and calls for accountability—while staying aligned with the broader Médecins du Monde network.

This is a flexible, fully remote consulting role averaging approximately 60 hours per month, with hours adjusting around campaign cycles and strategic needs. Roughly 65% of the time will be dedicated to hands-on writing, editing, and narrative development, with the remaining 35% focused on editorial planning, coordination, and content alignment. The consultant will operate with a high degree of autonomy and work closely with internal teams and external creative partners. Initial contract for six to eight months with opportunity for extension.

Key Responsibilities

Storytelling & Content Development (≈65%)

• Proactively source, develop, and maintain a story bank of human-centered narratives from the field, drawing on interviews, frontline voices, program insights, and research for use across fundraising, advocacy, and public-facing communications.

• Translate complex global and U.S. health, migration, and policy issues into human stories that make their real-world impact understandable without losing nuance or credibility.

• Write, edit, and package content across formats — from narrative storytelling and reported features to campaign pages, newsletters, and social content — with a strong sense of voice, ethics, and audience.

• Collaborate with creative partners on multimedia storytelling, including photo essays and digital content.

• Ensure all content adheres to ethical, rights-based storytelling standards.

Content Coordination & Editorial Planning (≈40%)

• Identify and prioritize content opportunities by staying attuned to shifts in policy, advocacy priorities, and how global developments are affecting people on the ground.

• Actively surface and shape relevant human stories from the global Médecins du Monde network for U.S. audiences.

• Develop and manage editorial calendars aligned with fundraising, advocacy, and programmatic priorities.

• Coordinate content workflows across internal teams (development, programs, leadership) to ensure clarity, consistency, and timeliness.

• Coordinate and manage the work of other communications partners (e.g., designers, photographers, videographers), managing briefs, timelines, and deliverables.

• Support content distribution and alignment across channels, including social media, email, website, and fundraising communications.

• Work closely with leadership and development teams to ensure narratives are compelling and strategically aligned to organizational goals.

• Track performance and engagement to inform editorial decisions and evolving narrative priorities.

Key Deliverables

• A regularly refreshed story bank of human-centered narratives, voices, and visuals from Doctors of the World USA’s U.S. and global work.

• 2–3 written pieces per month, depending on length and scope, including a mix of consultant-led original writing and editorial shaping, editing, and adaptation of stories from other contributors and the global Médecins du Monde network for U.S. audiences.

• Refreshed website copy and program pages that clearly communicate Doctors of the World USA’s work, values, and human impact across U.S. and global contexts.

• Editorially driven social media posts and email newsletter content that extend and reinforce core narratives across channels.

• Editorial plans and content calendars aligned with advocacy, programmatic, and fundraising priorities.

Qualifications & Attributes

• 7–10+ years of experience in journalism, communications, advocacy, or storytelling within social impact contexts, preferably in global health, human rights, migration, or humanitarian work.

• Strong ability to connect human stories to broader social, political, and systemic challenges.

• Curious, self-directed, and comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy.

• Excellent multi-format writer, able to move between narrative storytelling and concise, high-impact copy.

• Strong visual storytelling sensibility, with experience working closely with designers, photographers, and videographers.

• Quick learner with strong editorial judgment, able to connect organizational priorities with evolving global challenges and lived human experience.

• Experience working across digital, social, and email communications.

• Comfortable using AI and other digital tools to support research, synthesis, editing, and workflow efficiency, with human judgment and ethical storytelling standards guiding all final content.

• Demonstrated ability to collaborate across teams and build relationships with external partners; Spanish and/or French fluency is a plus.

• Deep commitment to ethical, human-centered storytelling principles.
