The High Impact Network (THINK)

Here's an opportunity that perhaps one/some of you will be inclined to take up.  If you do, I'd love to know about it!  -ATM

===========================================================================

 

The High Impact Network (THINK) starts college chapters that lead workshops and games on how to most effectively make the world a better place.  These activities are highly interactive and show how to put the altruistic ideas into practice.

 

As you are reading this, 30 THINK chapters are launching at colleges in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Sweden, Brazil, and India. We are cultivating a global community of highly effective and caring people to make the world a better place. Our website is www.thehighimpactnetwork.org.

 

If you know anyone who might be interested in participating, could you please forward along this email to them / relevant listservs? If you'd like to learn more and possibly participate yourself, please read on!

If you want to improve the world, it is incredibly important to:

 

1. Know the most pressing causes, from extreme poverty and animal welfare to environmental and global risks.
2. Know the most promising paths to addressing these – which careers and research avenues to pursue, and which organizations and charities to support.
3. Gain the skills to excel on those paths – boost your intelligence, compassion, and productivity.

 

We're designing lots of group activities and games within these areas for chapters to choose from (you can also make your own). Here are ten of them: www.thehighimpactnetwork.org/modules

 

We're looking for passionate and organized students to lead a THINK chapter at University of Southern Maine. Leading a chapter primarily involves organizing events, where you guide members through the group activities and have periodic social events. (It's not that hard – we have resources for you and a support team standing by to help with logistics – and it's a nice resume booster.)

 

If you'd like to be a chapter founder at University of Southern Maine, let us know at beafounder@thehighimpactnetwork.org. And please send me any questions you have!

 

Looking forward,
Mark
