GET INVOLVED
Join us in empowering trauma survivors and advocating for meaningful change. The Healing and C-PTSD Foundation offers a range of opportunities to make an impact, from volunteering your skills to joining one of our advisory boards. Together, we can create a future where every survivor has access to healing and support in a trauma-informed world.

We are Hiring an
Executive Director
Lead with Purpose. Build with Vision.
The Healing and CPTSD Foundation is actively seeking a Volunteer Executive Director to help lead the next evolution of our nonprofit.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone ready to step in, take initiative, and bring big vision to life. You’ll be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations, managing internal communications, and building out a passionate, aligned volunteer team. You’ll also recruit, interview, and onboard volunteers, work directly with the Board of Directors, and help shape the strategic direction of the foundation as we grow.
We’re looking for someone who is:
✔️ A self-starter who doesn’t wait for permission
✔️ Experienced in nonprofit or grassroots leadership (or ready to rise into it)
✔️ Comfortable in both visionary and operational roles
✔️ Passionate about trauma-informed care and survivor-centered work
✔️ Committed to growing a mission — not just managing one
This is a unique opportunity to help shape a survivor-led foundation that funds healing, advocates for systemic change, and challenges the way trauma is understood and supported.
This is a volunteer position with high responsibility, high impact, and deep purpose.
If you’re ready to lead, build, and be part of something that matters:

Join our
Board of Directors
Help Lead a Survivor-Led Movement Toward Systemic Change.
The Healing and CPTSD Foundation is seeking values-aligned individuals to join our Board of Directors — a volunteer leadership team committed to guiding the strategic vision, ethical governance, and long-term impact of our organization.
As a board member, you’ll help shape a nonprofit rooted in trauma-informed care, survivor advocacy, and access to healing. You’ll provide oversight, accountability, and insight while supporting the foundation’s growth through collaborative leadership, committee involvement, and mission-aligned decision-making.
We're looking for individuals who:
✔️ Have a passion for healing justice, mental health equity, or trauma-informed advocacy
✔️ Bring experience in fields like nonprofit governance, finance, law, fundraising, mental health, policy, or lived experience with trauma
✔️ Are committed to survivor-centered values and inclusive, ethical leadership
✔️ Can attend quarterly virtual board meetings and participate in committee work
Whether you're a seasoned board member or a passionate changemaker ready to lead for the first time, your voice matters here.
This is a volunteer position with real impact. You’ll help ensure that survivors are not only heard — but supported, funded, and fought for.

Join our Community Advisory Board
Be the Voice. Represent the Mission. Help Us Grow From the Inside Out.
The Healing and CPTSD Foundation is calling in passionate, values-aligned individuals to join our Community Advisory Board — a group of volunteers who represent the heart of our community and help shape the way we show up, serve, and advocate.
This is not a governing board. This is a voice-amplifying, community-rooted role for those who want to represent survivor perspectives, provide feedback, share ideas, and act as ambassadors for our mission.
As a Community Advisory Board member, you’ll:
🔹 Represent the lived experience of our community — especially marginalized voices
🔹 Provide insight and feedback on programs, campaigns, and community needs
🔹 Help spread awareness about our work and mission through your networks
🔹 Attend virtual gatherings and collaborate on key initiatives

We’re looking for people who are:
✔️ Survivors or allies who deeply understand trauma and healing
✔️ Passionate about representation, inclusion, and community care
✔️ Open to collaboration, feedback, and honest dialogue
✔️ Excited to be part of something purpose-driven and people-led
This is a volunteer position that centers voice over power — impact over hierarchy.

Join our Advocacy Committee
Help Us Create a Trauma-Informed World — One Policy, Voice, and System at a Time.

We’re seeking volunteer members for our Advocacy Committee, a team of survivors, allies, and changemakers who are ready to take action on behalf of those impacted by CPTSD and systemic trauma.
As a committee member, you’ll:
🔹 Help shape campaigns to advocate for CPTSD recognition in the DSM
🔹 Support trauma-informed policy work in healthcare, mental health, education, and justice systems
🔹 Collaborate on petitions, public awareness initiatives, and legislative outreach

✔️ Passionate about systems change, mental health equity, and survivor rights
✔️ Skilled in (or excited to learn about) advocacy, policy, writing, organizing, or outreach
✔️ Willing to collaborate, listen, and build campaigns that reflect our values

Join our Events Committee
Create Impactful, Heart-Led Events That Fund Healing and Inspire Change.

Whether it’s a healing-centered community gathering, a fundraising bike ride, or a national CPTSD awareness event, our experiences are designed to uplift survivors, raise critical funds, and spread trauma-informed education.
As a committee member, you’ll:
🔹 Help plan and support virtual and in-person events aligned with our mission

Join our Fundraising Committee
Fuel the Mission. Fund the Healing. Help Us Make Change Sustainable.
The Healing and CPTSD Foundation is powered by generosity, grassroots support, and bold belief in what’s possible. We’re building a trauma-informed world — and we need a strong financial foundation to get there.
We’re seeking committed, values-aligned volunteers to join our Fundraising Committee — a team dedicated to raising the funds that support our healing grants, community programs, and advocacy work.
As a committee member, you’ll:
🔹 Help plan and execute fundraising campaigns, donor outreach, and sponsorship opportunities
🔹 Contribute ideas, strategy, or connections that can grow our funding base
🔹 Support peer-to-peer fundraising efforts and collaborate with other committees (like Events or Advocacy)
