THE STORYTELLER PROGRAM
A Jr. Storyteller is someone who brings stories to life for kids anywhere! Usually at places like schools, libraries, and even virtual storytelling online. Our proven methods keep kids engaged and learning, and our storytellers often are asked to return again and again!
Great with kids? Weirdly good at silly voices? Jr. Storytellers might be your dream gig in disguise.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, educator, student, performer, or just a parent with passion and a little hustle - - you can earn extra income or level up to become a Master Storyteller.
Our storytelling approach is fun and engaging for kids from preschool through 5th grade. For younger children, we focus on character-building themes and curriculum-aligned standards that teachers love. For older kids, we shift the focus to storytelling skills - - helping them write, speak, and express themselves like pros.
Three ways to get started:
-
Community → Learn and practice storytelling
-
Certified → Get listed and access paid opportunities
-
Mentor → Gain priority access and grow your income
Bonus: Earn 10% on book sales with your affiliate link
​
No matter your path, all Storytellers set their own schedule and rates - - so it’s totally flexible and works around your life.
