Bring what
you know.

MyWhatIf is built by people who bring something they know. A skill they've earned, a community they care about, or simply the willingness to help. You don't need to fit a job description. You need something useful to contribute.

01 · What do you know?

There is more than one way to help build this.Bring what is yours to bring.

One

Bring your expertise.

Clinical, research, AI, engineering, product, design, legal, ethics, communications, fundraising, operations, or another field you know deeply. Tell us what you know and what you'd like to help solve.

Two

Help us build.

Take on a defined problem, project, experiment, piece of research, content, technology, or operational need. Volunteer work is scoped so it never requires access to participant data or sensitive systems.

Three

Open a door.

Introduce MyWhatIf to a researcher, funder, health system, university, company, community, collaborator, or someone we should know. Sometimes the most valuable thing you can contribute is a connection.

Four

Bring MyWhatIf somewhere.

Help us reach your workplace, university, professional network, community, organization, or event. A talk, a salon, a lab meeting, a pro bono sprint. Whatever fits the room.

Five

Support other Heroes.

Many of us building MyWhatIf are people with lived experience of trauma. We know what it means to need a different future to become imaginable again. When you give your time, expertise, connections, or care to this work, you help us build for the next Hero who needs it.

Volunteer with us → Whichever of these fits, tell us — we'll find the conversation.
02 · You don't need to fit a job description

The people who built this arrived with something they knew, not a title that matched the work.

Clinical expertise, research, engineering, storytelling, design, law, lived experience, an introduction, a community, a question. You can contribute in whichever of these shapes fits your life:

  1. iPersonally.
  2. iiThrough your profession.
  3. iiiThrough your organization or team.
  4. ivThrough your network.
  5. vBy making an introduction.
  6. viBy creating an opportunity for MyWhatIf to reach people.

Whichever route you take, we'd like to know what you bring.

03 · Give what fits

You don't need to have the rest of your year free.

Some people help for an afternoon. Some advise us for an hour a month. Others take ownership of a project for several weeks, or become part of the team. There is more than one valid level of commitment.

We'll figure out what makes sense together.

  1. Step 1

    A conversation

    Tell us what you see that we don't.

  2. Step 2

    A few hours

    An introduction, a review, a small piece of thinking.

  3. Step 3

    A defined project

    One problem, start to finish, on a sustainable schedule.

  4. Step 4

    An ongoing role

    Judgment we come back to over time, sometimes a formal partnership.

What you may get back
Work on problems that matter.
Meet remarkable people from clinical care, research, technology, and beyond.
Put what you know to work on something that matters.
04 · A team can volunteer too

You can raise your own hand, or bring people with you.

Companies, university groups, professional teams, employee volunteer programs, labs and community organizations can contribute together. A focused pro bono sprint, a student project, a research collaboration, professional services support, or community implementation work. We don't assume free work. Start a conversation and we'll find a structure that's fair.

Now selecting · Human Code Reviewers

Human judgment is becoming a technical skill.

Teach AI what requires human judgment.

MyWhatIf is selecting a small group of Human Code Reviewers to work at the intersection of AI, psychology, and language, evaluating real AI-generated narrative against a structured framework for grounding, evidence, agency, and hope.

AI can generate language. Human judgment decides what is worth learning from.

You'll leave with
01

Structured training in a rigorous framework for evaluating emotional language: grounding, evidence, agency, and hope.

02

Direct experience with one of the hardest open problems in AI: where machine generation ends and human judgment begins.

03

A sharper framework for your own judgment, one that carries into research, writing, or clinical work.

04

Recognition for strong contribution, and the chance to take on greater responsibility within the program.

05

Work worth describing on a résumé, a graduate application, or in an interview, in your own words.

Credentials aren't the point. Judgment is.

Someone come to mind?

The best Human Code Reviewer in your network may not know this kind of opportunity exists.

06 · Tell us what you'd bring

You don't need to know exactly where you fit.

Tell us what you know, what you care about and how you imagine helping. If there is a useful match, we will find the right conversation.
