🏢 About The School for Moral Ambition

The School for Moral Ambition uniquely focuses on mobilizing ambitious individuals to tackle humanity's most pressing challenges like pandemics, factory farming, and democratic threats.

You might spend time learning about new global challenges the community is addressing and preparing personalized follow-ups for members who need additional guidance.
