Hi HN -<p>I’ll be graduating in May with a Masters in CS, and I’ve been working to compile a list of potential employers to engage with. My goal is to use my tech chops and my workaholism to help people - either locally or globally. However, at present, my list is embarrassingly small:<p>Watsi, KhanAcademy, Mozilla… I need your help!<p>Google search is failing me: the word “benefits” returns company perks and benefits, “change the world,” “helping people,” and many other similar phrases have been overused by nearly every PR department in the world (especially in tech). Maybe I should try Bing…<p>So, who’s out there that’s impressed you with their impact and dedication? Big or small, it doesn’t matter. I’d really appreciate your help on this! :)<p>Thanks, and happy Saturday,
Mike
To aide your Google search: look for corporations that have elected the "B Corp" designation. Here's a good list of them: <a href="http://bestfortheworld.bcorporation.net/" rel="nofollow">http://bestfortheworld.bcorporation.net/</a><p>More info about B corps: <a href="https://www.bcorporation.net/what-are-b-corps" rel="nofollow">https://www.bcorporation.net/what-are-b-corps</a>

If you're interested in working in beautiful Cebu, Philippines, to build products that improve the lives of the poor worldwide, check out www.engageSPARK.com . :) We've got a talented international team and are looking for more passionate people who want to leverage their tech skills to do good. We're a not-for-profit business/startup building a challenging distributed platform that will enable NGOs and governments to improve the lives of millions of people in poverty around the world. We just finished a financial education program for a large international NGO using voice calls & sms soap operas with quizzes (to reinforce and test comprehension) for 25,000 people affected by a natural disaster. And Cebu is a great place to live!
From my experience interning at their San Francisco office, Mozilla has an ridiculously high concentration of nice, humble, yet world class people who want to change the world.
