About Us
Global Vision Club (aka Sight Club) is an excellent opportunity for you to extend your knowledge of the world health conditions and eye care. The primary focus of our club is to support and better eye conditions for citizens around the world that lack access to proper eye care. As is such, we fundraise money, as well as collect various eye wear products, to donate to the Global Health Centers spread out across the world from Honduras to India! In collaboration with Harvard University, Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, as well as University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), we attend the Global Health Conference to showcase our annual project aimed at improving conditions locally. It is a great opportunity for you to get familiar with many health academics and professors at these various institutions.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact one of us! And if you are interested in joining us, please join our google classroom on this page!
The Harvard Pitch Competition
The mission of the Global Health and Leadership Conference is to inspire youth to grow as civically minded leaders through engaging in evidence-based, cost-effective, and sustainable interventions that promote the wellbeing and dignity of people. These individual projects are an important part of that mission. They involve researching and critically thinking about real-life issues that affect local communities. Participants design solutions to these problems and “pitch” them to create tangible social impact. Top entries will be celebrated during a virtual awards ceremony.
What is the pitch competition?
The goal of the 2022 Conference Project is for you to research social issues that affect health and wellbeing in your local community, and then to design and pitch solutions that have the potential to create tangible social impact. Participants will work on these projects during the months preceding the Conference, potentially with the support of a Harvard mentor.
Submissions to the Community Pitch Competition must have two components:
1. 3-Minute Pitch Video
2. 3-5 Page "Grant Proposal"
