ORGANIZATION: Students for High Impact Charity

  • 7 people are interested

We are a social startup focused on educating young people in effective altruism. We are looking for dedicated and talented people to join our team. If you are interested in non-profit work, international development, or simply looking for a volunteer opportunity to diversify your skill set and enhance your resume, this is the position you have been waiting for.

What is SHIC?

Students for High Impact Charities (SHIC) is a program designed to help amazing students turn into even more amazing leaders, changemakers, and activists. Students in the SHIC program learn about effective altruism- how to do as much good as possible with a limited amount of time and money-through engaging discussions, videos, and exercises. SHIC provides a space for students to challenge their preconceived notions, critically examine their place in the world, and ask difficult questions about what it really means to help others. Our goal is to empower students so that they feel like they have the necessary tools to go out in the world and make a difference, whether it be in their own community or overseas.

About the Position:

As member of the SHIC startup team, you will wear many hats. Although we try to match tasks with skill level, you will regularly be given the chance to try new things. You have the potential to get familiar with project management, copy writing and editing, web development, web marketing, outreach, communications, donor stewardship, and more!

Send us a creative resume and cover letter (and any questions, thoughts, comments) to studentsforhighimpactcharity@gmail.com. Come join the party! We can’t wait to hear from you!

Mission Statement

Students For High-Impact Charity is the only global network of classes and extracurricular clubs dedicated to exploring how students can achieve the most effective prosocial impact. Our program pays special attention to how science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) all play a crucial role in the future of international development. We envision an entire global network of students with the technical ability to thrive in the real world and the vision to make it a better place for others.

Description

We provide an official curriculum, attentive staff support, expert fundraising guidance, and a web-based platform for SHIC chapters to flourish worldwide. At no cost to the organizer or participating students, SHIC is excited to give away a 6-level pilot curriculum for student or faculty-led charitable clubs.

What is high-impact charity?

Throughout the course of our program, students will be introduced to different cause areas and the leading charities working in each field. Our selected high-mpact charities have been vetted by charity evaluators GiveWell, Giving What We Can, The Life You Can Save, or Animal Charity Evaluators as having made demonstrable strides in doing the most good with the money they're given when compared with other organizations.
