Your journey at a glance

  • Your entire journey—from the schedule to your topic—will be highly tailored. Click here to get in touch and learn more!

  • Once you sign up, brainstorm your topic in a 1-1 session with our founder so we can pair you with the perfect mentor and partner NGO.

  • Strong arguments start with careful reading. With your mentor, critically examine the sources we curate just for you—reports, newspaper articles, speeches, research papers, video interviews and more.

  • Now that you have a strong argument, you will put pen to paper. Your mentor will help you ensure that you back your claims with evidence, cite correctly, and write persuasively to inspire change among a general audience—not just specialists.

  • Once you finish your article, we’ll work with the NGO to get it published. But your journey doesn’t stop here. Speak 1-1 with our founder to plan future articles and deeper projects.

Choose a topic that’s truly yours.

You have diverse interests. Your project should reflect them all.

We help you weave together your favourite subjects, extracurriculars, hobbies, and social causes into topics that are as unique as you.
