Charity Student Organizations In HSE

Are you ready to make the world a better place? Anna Baranova compiled a brief guide on HSE organizations, which will help with that.

Note: most of the organizations listed below are aimed at Russian-speaking members. But if your desire to help on a daily basis is strong, there will definitely be a place for you.

Open your eyes

Open your eyes («Открой глаза») is one of the largest HSE charity organization founded in 2008.

They have four main areas of work: with children and adults with special needs, with older people, and with animals from shelters. Every month members attend boarding schools, hold master classes, quests and concerts, organize charity fairs, gatherings of things and gifts within the walls of the HSE.

Last summer they even organized inclusive charitable festival of the Higher School of Economics “Magic World” – check the video and you will be impressed!

HSE Outreach

HSE Outreach is also quite big. It was established in 2007.

They organize events that help particular categories: children from orphanages, people with cancer and sometimes also animal shelters nursing homes, etc. You can join them at their trips at orphanage, donate blood, or at least participate at Bake Sales – everyone is welcome there!

Best Buddies HSE

Best Buddies HSE is the local part of global movement.

As everywhere at the world, help adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities (autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, etc.) to find friends among students, broaden their horizons and teach something that their parents will not tell.

You may not only help people, but also become more tolerant, learn new about inclusion and generally have a good time.

Tutors for Pupils

They focus on intellectual volunteering. They become mentors for children from orphanages and help them to prepare for the exam. To help every child not only to get good grades and enter the university, but also feel valued, noticed and heard.

Without any doubts your help, for example, in English can define one’s future.
