<h2>VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY</h2><h2>Faith Community Outreach Team (Christian Engagement)&nbsp;</h2><h2>Full-Time Startup Volunteer Commitment</h2>Organization: Right to Live Canada&nbsp;Role Type: Volunteer (Unpaid)&nbsp;Engagement Model: Team-Based (Self-Managed)&nbsp;Time Commitment: 30+ hours per week per volunteer&nbsp;Minimum Term: 3–6 months preferred&nbsp;Location: Fully Remote (Canada-wide)&nbsp;Primary Organizational Contact: Founder / Executive Lead (via appointed Team Lead)<h2>THE MISSION</h2>Canada is currently facing a human rights crisis of international consequence: poverty-driven disability euthanasia (MAiD). Individuals, blocked by state-enforced poverty, are choosing to end their lives with state assistance due to being unable to access essentials such as medical procedures, supportive housing, or even food. This systemic failure has triggered a United Nations investigation, criticism from the Canadian Human Rights Commission, and global condemnation.Right to Live Canada is engineering the only viable, system-level alternative to this crisis -- Social Brokerage. By creating a pipeline between sources of raw capital and specific one-time support plans ("Stability Mandates") for individuals in the process of applying for MAiD, the organization creates the "viable alternative" that the system itself mandates its assessors to find but does not currently provide. This represents the world's first market-based solution to poverty-driven euthanasia and the creation of a social impact credit system which exchanges philanthropic capital for verified, life-affirming outcomes, akin to carbon credits.Right to Live Canada is currently pre-pilot.<h2>TEAM MANDATE OVERVIEW</h2>Right to Live Canada is recruiting a small, high-commitment Faith Community Outreach Team to engage Christian communities across Canada with the aim of:<ul><li>Building national awareness of economic euthanasia.</li><li>Positioning Right to Live Canada as a credible, operational solution.</li><li>Mobilizing Christian communities for voluntary support, including donations, amplification, and institutional backing.</li></ul>This team will function as a self-managed unit, appointing a Team Lead from among its members. The Team Lead will serve as the primary coordination point with Right to Live Canada leadership.<h2>WHO THIS OPPORTUNITY IS DESIGNED FOR</h2>This role is intentionally structured for individuals seeking serious, formative experience rather than casual volunteering. It is particularly suited for:• University co-op placements or unpaid internship requirements • Undergraduate or graduate students in theology, social work, public policy, law, economics, public health, or nonprofit management • Early-career professionals seeking exposure to system-level social intervention and institution-building • Individuals discerning long-term vocational, nonprofit, advocacy, or faith-adjacent leadership pathsThis opportunity is not suitable for casual, part-time, or short-term volunteering.<h2>WHAT THIS TEAM WILL BUILD</h2>Participants will contribute directly to the creation of first-generation infrastructure, including:• The first national faith-community engagement strategy addressing poverty-driven euthanasia • Outreach materials and engagement frameworks used with churches, denominations, and faith-based institutions • A documented, replicable model for values-aligned engagement that may later be expanded nationally • Real institutional relationships and engagement pipelines, not theoretical or academic exercisesThere is no inherited bureaucracy. This is greenfield work in an early-stage organization.<h2>ROLE STRUCTURE &amp; GOVERNANCE</h2>• Multiple volunteers will be recruited concurrently into this team • The team will self-organize its workflow and assign internal responsibilities (e.g., outreach, coordination, content) • The team will select a Team Lead by internal agreement • The Team Lead will coordinate directly with Right to Live Canada leadership and consolidate reportingStrategic direction is provided by RTL leadership; day-to-day execution is delegated to the team.<h2>CORE RESPONSIBILITIES (TEAM-LEVEL)</h2><h3>Faith Community Engagement</h3>• Identify and engage Christian churches, denominations, charities, and faith-based organizations across Canada • Conduct outreach via email, phone, and scheduled virtual meetings (Google Meet) • Communicate clearly regarding economic euthanasia and the Right to Live Canada Social Brokerage model<h3>Awareness &amp; Fundraising Campaign Development</h3>• Design and execute coordinated initiatives oriented toward Canadian Christian communities • Develop messaging that is theologically respectful and values-aligned • Accurately represent Right to Live Canada as a non-religious organization • Support organic dissemination through church networks, newsletters, and social channels<h3>Communication &amp; Operations</h3>• Use Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Gmail) and Slack for internal coordination • Maintain clear records of outreach activity and engagement outcomes • Operate effectively in a fully remote, nationally distributed team<h2>WHY FAITH COMMUNITIES MATTER IN THIS WORK</h2>Christian institutions retain significant moral influence and charitable reach across Canada. They are among the few actors capable of mobilizing values-driven support at national scale.This team exists to ensure that faith communities are informed of—and able to engage with—a serious, operational response to poverty-driven euthanasia.Right to Live Canada remains a non-religious organization. Engagement is values-aligned, not doctrinal.<h2>WHAT PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE</h2>While this is an unpaid role, participants will receive concrete professional value, including:• Formal letters of recommendation upon successful completion • Verified skill endorsements (stakeholder engagement, outreach, nonprofit operations, systems development) • Public attribution for work products where appropriate • Direct collaboration with the founder and executive leadership during a formative organizational phase • Exposure to high-level policy, human rights, and economic system design work rarely accessible at early career stagesFor co-op and internship candidates, Right to Live Canada will support institutional documentation requirements where feasible.<h2>COMMITMENT EXPECTATIONS</h2>This is a full-time volunteer engagement in a startup context. Participants should be prepared for:• Sustained commitment of 30+ hours per week • High levels of autonomy and responsibility • Performance expectations comparable to early-stage startup or mission-driven nonprofit work<h2>STARTUP REALITY DISCLOSURE</h2>Right to Live Canada is pre-pilot and volunteer-driven. Systems are actively being built. Processes will evolve. Ambiguity is expected.This role is best suited to individuals interested in building institutions, not maintaining existing ones.<h2>QUALIFICATIONS &amp; IDEAL CANDIDATE PROFILE</h2>• Strong communication and organizational skills • Familiarity with Christian communities, culture, or institutional structures • Ability to collaborate effectively in a self-directed team environment • Comfort with digital tools and fully remote work • High personal discipline, reliability, and follow-through<h2>HOW TO APPLY</h2>Interested candidates should submit a brief statement of interest outlining relevant experience, availability, and interest in team-based volunteer work to:Email: <a href="mailto:volunteer@righttolive.ca" target="_blank">volunteer@righttolive.ca</a> Website: <a href="http://www.RightToLive.ca/volunteer" target="_blank">www.RightToLive.ca/volunteer</a>
