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.
