- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Students for High-Impact Charity (shicschools.org) is a club or short-term program that any student (with the right motivation, of course) can run in their school. SHIC is about exploring the most important questions facing humanity and figuring out the best way to solve some of the world’s biggest problems.
We cover everything from world poverty and animal welfare, to the environment, to catastrophic risks like nuclear war and artificial intelligence. SHIC is about leveling up your impact to do the most good possible.
We’ve created the material. We’re just looking for motivated student leaders to present it to your peers. We have 7 levels for you to try out, and even more if you like it.
'What’s in it for me?’
Level up your impact - SHIC supports the most effective charities in the world in their particular field. You won’t just be pitching in, you’ll be making waves.
Personal skills - Be a teacher once a week. Practice public speaking, and mentor your peers.
A resume boost - Being in a club looks great, but founding a club? That’s another story.
Become part of a team - Join a network of ridiculously motivated and talented young people who are all eager to make the world a better place.
Recognition - slot on our website (if you want), features on our student blog, university application content and letters of recommendation.
Join our global network of students running this experiment! You can email at catherine@highimpactstudents.org

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.
