Hi Adam, so exciting that you want to use your skills for doing good. I’d go even further and say that “doing good” is its own goal to shoot for, and I want more folks thinking about “What are the best opportunities to do the most good?” first, and only then filtering by some subset of their relevant skills that might make them a good fit.
This is described more in Part 4 our career guide, where we outline a framework—Scale, Tractability, Neglectedness—to identify global issues with some of the highest opportunities for positive impact. We’ve applied such an analysis in our work for many years, and have in-depth articles on what we believe to be some of the world’s most pressing problems.
We also host a job board to aggregate opportunities aimed at helping with these. If you’re looking for more “goal-directed” next steps, perhaps scanning through those jobs can give you a sense of what the world needs right now, and how you can help. All the best!
