Writer or editor
Athlete stories, the newsletter, and the annual impact report.
Help athletes and coaches tell their stories in their own words. Interview, organize, and clarify without making an ordinary day of sport a story of pity or heroism.
The work
- Interviewing athletes, coaches and families, and making it worth reading.
- Editing what the rest of us write, which is often the higher-value half.
- Holding the voice steady. We have written rules about how we talk.
Your first month
- Read the site and tell us the two sentences not pulling their weight.
- Write one athlete story end to end.
Who it suits
- You write for a living or you used to. Journalism, marketing, technical writing all transfer.
- You are good at interviewing people who think their own story is not interesting.
You do not need nonprofit writing experience or any knowledge of the sports.
Not this
- Ghostwriting fundraising appeals under someone else’s name.
Good writing helps readers understand the person and the sport.
Adapt To Life expands access to adaptive sports so athletes can find their place. We bring people and opportunities together and build the support around participation. Read our story
