Help Shape the Future of Dysautonomia Support

About WTFisDys

Founded in August 2024, WTFisDys is a rapidly growing nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of those impacted by dysautonomia. With a community of over 100 members and programs that include peer support groups (co-facilitated by an LCSW), caregiver support sessions, an active Discord community with book clubs and interactive events, and adaptive movement classes, we are redefining what it means to connect, support, and empower.

The Role

We are seeking a passionate volunteer board member to guide our strategic direction and help us scale our impact. As part of the board, you will collaborate in shaping policies, strategizing our growth, and ensuring our initiatives remain both innovative and true to our mission.

Key Responsibilities
  • Strategic Leadership: Provide input on long-term planning and help steer our organization through its next phase of growth.

  • Governance & Oversight: Participate in regular board meetings, contribute to policy development, and ensure fiscal responsibility.

  • Community Ambassadorship: Represent WTFisDys in professional networks and at community events, sharing our story and vision.

  • Collaboration & Innovation: Work alongside fellow board members, leveraging your expertise to refine existing programs and explore new opportunities.

Who We're Looking For
  • Experience with Dysautonomia/Chronic Illness: While ideal candidates are familiar with dysautonomia (or directly impacted by it), we also welcome those with broader experience in chronic illness management.

  • Healthcare Professionals & Advocates: Healthcare-adjacent professionals are highly encouraged, but we are equally interested in individuals with lived experience who are passionate about community support.

  • Exceptional Communicators: Strong interpersonal skills and a collaborative spirit are essential for effective board engagement.

  • Visionary Leaders: A commitment to advancing our mission and the capacity to contribute strategic insights that drive meaningful change.

Why Join Our Board?

By joining our board at this pivotal stage, you’ll have the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the lives of individuals navigating dysautonomia. Your leadership will directly influence our growth, deepen our support network, and help transform isolated challenges into a vibrant, empowering community.

Ready to Make a Difference?

If you’re inspired by our mission and ready to bring your expertise, passion, and vision to WTFisDys, we’d love to hear from you!

Mission Statement

At WTFisDys, we champion authentic connection and unwavering support for individuals facing the challenges of dysautonomia. Born from a personal journey of five years navigating complex treatment paths, our mission is to create a safe haven where empathy, understanding, and community unite to bridge the gaps left by conventional resources.

Description

WTFisDys was founded by someone who experienced dysautonomia firsthand and understands the loneliness and challenges it brings. Our mission is to transform isolation into community by offering a safe space for empathy, connection, and practical support.

As a nonprofit certified at federal and state levels and actively pursuing tax-exempt status, we offer a growing list of programs designed to empower those affected by dysautonomia. Our offerings include peer support groups-with some sessions led by a licensed clinical social worker-caregiver support sessions that create welcoming spaces for sharing strategies, an engaging Discord community featuring interactive events and a book club, and adaptive movement classes that promote physical and emotional well-being.

We are also focused on building a visionary board and an engaged network of volunteers to help steer our strategic direction. Whether you have experience in community outreach or social media management or simply feel passionate about making a difference, we invite you to join us in turning isolated struggles into a vibrant network of shared strength, resilience, and hope.

Your volunteer efforts will amplify the voices of those living with dysautonomia, transforming personal challenges into collective power while fostering a creative, supportive environment for meaningful change.
