RECRUITER — VOLUNTEER, FULL-TIME

Organization: Right to Live Canada

This is a remote volunteer opportunity with Right to Live Canada, a virtual-office based Canadian non-profit start-up.

------ THE MISSION

Right to Live Canada exists to make continued life a practical, supported, executable option when a preferable living future exists but the systems required to reach it do not.

We were founded in response to systemic poverty-driven euthanasia among Canadians with disabilities: cases in which people pursue MAiD because housing, income, care, treatment, or other essentials required to continue living are unavailable. In those cases, death can become the executable option while a preferable living future remains structurally out of reach.

That distinction defines Right to Live. Right to Live is the only organization in Canada addressing euthanasia with a practical solution model for all Canadians - not merely opposing MAiD, documenting harms, or raising awareness, but building the service, financing, technological, and institutional infrastructure that can make continued life executable. The scale of the issue is already national: 16,499 Canadians received MAiD in 2024, equal to 5.1% of all deaths in Canada, and the number of MAiD provisions increased another 6.9% over 2023 after years of year-over-year growth. MAiD is the fourth leading cause of death in Canada. And those 16,499 deaths capture only euthanasia itself - not Canadians who die because care is inaccessible, support gaps go unresolved, or life-preserving and specialty treatments cannot be reached. We were founded in response to poverty-driven disability euthanasia, but the solution is not limited to disability: Continuity is being built for any Canadian facing a potential death where a preferable living future can still be achieved.

We call that infrastructure Continuity: the service, financial, technological, and institutional architecture required to connect a person facing potential death to a preferable living future. The model is designed to identify what would make continued life viable, assemble the intervention, solve the financing problem, and execute it. Its scope can extend from social and medical supports to frontier technologies where the body itself becomes the limiting factor.

Right to Live is building this through four core areas:

• Continuity Service — the practical service layer: identify what is driving a person toward an avoidable death, design a preferable living future, determine how it can be financed, execute the intervention, and produce an actual outcome rather than another referral dead end.
• Continuity Insurance — developing insurance-based financing so people can pre-fund access to Continuity interventions before a future death-risk scenario becomes an immediate financial crisis.
• Social Brokerage — developing a way to finance people who cannot afford Continuity by turning the anonymized outcome of a life supported into a measurable impact product for global impact buyers.
• Corporate Farming — building and incubating mission-locked organizations around the technologies, services, infrastructure, and concepts Continuity will need, then spinning them out to pursue those missions at full scale.

Right to Live is an early-stage, founder-led Canadian nonprofit built to move at startup speed on problems normally treated as separate: poverty-driven disability euthanasia, the absence of a practical service pathway to preferable living futures, the financing gaps that can make survival inaccessible, and frontier technologies that could preserve continuity when ordinary life-support pathways run out. OpenABLS is one of our most ambitious examples: a nonprofit-led, open-source Artificial Brain Life Support development project working toward a reference design that could sustain a living brain when the body can no longer support it. For the Head of Revenue, the opportunity is to build the revenue engine behind work with both immediate human impact and extraordinary long-term potential.
