Mission and programs · 2022
Mission
The organization's mission is to empower exceptional students to understand and improve the future by developing their analytical reasoning skills. Through fellowship programs, the organization aims to help students mitigate cognitive biases, build accurate beliefs, and apply evidence-based tools to address global challenges like poverty, existential risks, advanced AI risks, and economic reform. The core goal is to equip thoughtful young people with the ambition, community, and resources to discover and implement solutions to broken parts of our civilization.
-
In 2022, the organization ran 5 in-person fellowship programs of 11 days each, with 4 held in Berkeley and 1 in the UK. The programs hosted 106 exceptional students total, with each program ranging from 8 to 31 participants. Through intensive reasoning skill development and exposure to major global challenges, the programs aimed to empower youth and equip them with tools to drive positive change. Key impacts included improving participants' analytical abilities, boosting their confidence in generating worldwide impact, and acquainting them with pressing global issues they may help address. By investing in youth potential, the programs cultivate a community of thoughtful change-makers.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
