Description
Do you want to help change the way the world understands emotions?
TEG-Blue™ is building emotional technology — a new, human-centered framework that can reshape education, healing, and even AI. What began as a solo survival project is now ready to grow into a collaborative initiative.
About TEG-Blue
- An open-access framework weaving together insights from 30+ peer-reviewed models in trauma, neuroscience, and systems thinking
- Visual “Emotional Gradient” tools, field guides, and AI-ready datasets shared under CC BY-NC-SA
- Pilots in preparation with applications in education, therapy, organizational design, and digital mental health
The Volunteer Role
Right now, TEG-Blue is a solo project. With your help, it can become collaborative and sustainable. As the Funding & Partnerships Catalyst, you will:
- Research and prepare grant proposals to secure initial funding
- Build and nurture relationships with universities, NGOs, and health-tech platforms
- Support the launch of pilot projects in 2025
- Help track progress and share impact with allies and funders
Who I Hope to Find
- Someone motivated to bring new funding streams into a project that is just beginning to grow
- Clear writing and communication skills (grantwriting or fundraising experience is helpful, but not required if you’re motivated to learn)
- A genuine interest in emotional safety, trauma-informed care, or ethical approaches to human–AI collaboration
- Reliability and follow-through — able to track deadlines and commitments with care
- (Bonus) Familiarity with therapy, accountability practices, or personal healing work
What You Gain
- A chance to help shape an early-stage initiative with the potential for global impact
- Co-author credit on research papers and public reports
- Remote flexibility and a voice in our advisory circle
- The opportunity to grow with the project — with a pathway to a paid role as funding is secured
- A role for someone who doesn’t just want a “job,” but wants to help build something that could change how we understand and care for each other
Commitment
~10 hrs/week for the first months while we search for funding. This is a volunteer role for now. As soon as resources are in place, the role will transition into a paid position, with hours and responsibilities redefined together.

Apply to This Volunteer Opportunity
Thank you for taking the time to apply and share your thoughts with us.
TEG-Blue is still an early and fragile project, but it’s moving into a stage where collaboration and sustainability are possible. Your willingness to step forward means a lot.
Here’s what happens next:
- We’ll carefully read every application, not just skim for keywords.
- If it feels like a good fit, we’ll invite you for an informal conversation to get to know each other better.
- Please be patient with timing — as a solo founder, I may take longer to reply, but every message will be seen.
This project was born out of a deep need to understand what breaks us — and what can help us rebuild. If you’re here, it’s because you feel some part of that too. For that, I’m grateful.
