Making a Difference

Evidence-Based Impact for Changemakers

Wanting to make a difference is easy; knowing where your effort matters most is hard. This course teaches the analytical tools to evaluate competing causes and spot where your contribution has the highest expected return. You'll explore concrete opportunities across promising cause areas—health, poverty, the environment—and learn to distinguish between intuition and evidence.

The curriculum weaves insights from philosophy, economics, psychology, and statistics, building intellectual rigor around impact decisions. Whether you're choosing a career, a charity donation, or a volunteer commitment, learn to reason through where your effort counts most.
