The School for Moral Ambition

About The School for Moral Ambition

The world’s biggest problems won’t solve themselves. That’s why we’re building a movement of idealists to take them on, from climate change to factory farming to future pandemics.

Moral ambition is the will to make the world a wildly better place. To devote your career to the greatest challenges of our time. To be one of the best, but measured by a new standard of success. At The School for Moral Ambition, we believe the most ambitious people should work on the most important global problems.

The School for Moral Ambition emerged from a desire not only to talk about a better world but also to take action towards one. Our founders are writer Rutger Bregman, creative director Harald Dunnink, former banker Julia van Boven, former consultant Jan-Willem van Putten‍ and entrepreneur Ruben Timmerman.

We're based in Amsterdam and New York.

If you believe ambition can be a force for good, this is your call to action.
