General Office Volunteer - High Intensity (remote) Organization: Right to Live Canada Right to Live Canada | 30+ hrs/week | Volunteer Position------ The Mission 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.------ The Opportunity Right to Live Canada is a start-up non-profit solving economic euthanasia. We are in need of high intensity, committed volunteers who are ready and willing to put in the hard work to &nbsp;advance our work. This means a volunteer load of 30+ hours per week, for a duration up to the volunteer. The only common skill requirement is the ability to work in a remote office environment (Slack, Google Workspace). We will assign you a relevant role based on your resume and skill background.This opportunity would be ideal for those who have the opportunity for sufficient availability (summer break, unemployment, retired, etc) and want utilize their time in an impactful and meaningful way. The high hours and thus intensity commitment per week allows us to fill some work needs that require a single dedicated volunteer on a given, time-intensive, urgent task.Please note that only candidates with backgrounds in need for our internal open roles will be contacted.
