About the role

About Not Defined By FNDNot Defined By FND is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending stigma, raising awareness, supporting the FND community, and advocating for improved research, treatment, and resources for Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). We're a growing organization working to create greater understanding, connection, and hope for people affected by FND.

About the Opportunity:

We're looking for volunteers who want to contribute to our mission in ways that fit their skills, interests, experience, and availability.
We don't use a traditional department or fixed-position model for our volunteers. Instead, we organize opportunities around different areas of our work and invite volunteers to help with the tasks and projects that interest them.
You might contribute a few hours a month, help with a specific project, take on recurring tasks, or explore different opportunities over time.
You don't have to know exactly where you fit before applying.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
