Announcements
Apply for GPI's board!
Global Poverty Initiative is now recruiting for next year's officer board.
We are a completely student-run organization dedicated to fighting poverty. We use our three teams (education, action, and outreach) to inform the MIT community about poverty issues and what is being done at MIT, to send students abroad to interact with community partners, and to connect students to organizations and non-profits all over the world. We've also teamed up with Komaza to publish the beautiful international development magazine you've seen next to the Tech.
Applications are due Tuesday, May 1st - 11:59pm
