PragerU is proud to announce the launch of PragerUKids. This is a newer program in our organization dedicated to bringing parents the resources, support, and edutainment to teach children about America’s blessings and limitless opportunities. Our aim is to inoculate children against the indoctrination being taught in government schools today, and we will do this through a variety of edutainment content/programming, live events, newsletters, and community. We have a unique niche in providing supplemental educational material for children, all of which is non-partisan in nature.
With our exciting new launch into schools (starting with Florida!), we are looking to expand our in-house team with an Editor and Researcher with a focus in American history and overall Western Civilization.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Conduct intensive research/fact-checking to ensure the accuracy of PragerU Kids content, including magazines, books, and videos.
- Assist in drafting fact sheets on requested topics for scriptwriters to reference when producing PragerU Kids content
- Using your history knowledge, and your research skills, work to compile curriculums that will provide education to students at various levels: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
- Assist in developing the roadmap of what needs to be taught for each grade tier, taking into account what is missing/overlooked/revisioned in public education today
- Ensure that a pro-American message is being delivered with content that is consistent with our mission and vision.
- Other duties as assigned
Successful Candidates Will Possess:
- Strong research and critical thinking skills
- Expert understanding of English grammar, teaching, excellent writing, editing and proofreading skills
- 5-7+ years of writing and/or creative space experience
- Able to use your creative writing skills and subject matter knowledge across various disciplines and subjects to ensure that programming is:
- Consistent with our mission
- Aligned to pro-America, Judeo-Christian values
- Factually accurate and inerrant
- Written at an age-appropriate level
- Entertaining for young (and older) audiences
- Highly motivated with the ability to work and respond quickly in a deadline-driven environment
- Able to work both solo and as part of a team
- Able to self-motivate, hold yourself accountable, and no ego (every idea doesn’t get picked up)
- Understanding of trends, timely stories, and viral content
How to Apply: To apply, please first review our website at www.prageru.com. Please submit a resume, cover letter and writing sample/transcript. In your cover letter, please include a section explaining how your values align with ours, and why you would want to work at PragerU specifically. Your writing sample/transcript should be no less than 750 and no more than 800 words. You should watch our videos (www.prageru.com) and emulate the writing style. Pick one of three topics:
- History
- Economics
- Personal growth
If applicable, include sources. We have no intention of using test samples in future releases, but know that there is often overlap between topics. Thus, by submitting a sample you also release PragerU from any claims of future intellectual property ownership if you feel we release a video later in time with similar themes/concepts. We do not accept unsolicited materials.
What We Do: We promote American values through the creative use of educational videos that reach millions of people online. Serving all ages, our content offers a free alternative to the dominant left-wing ideology in culture, media, and education.
