Our motivation to help others is one of the strongest sources of motivation we have, and we often don't even consider it. Think about yourself. Have you ever been more motivated to do something for someone else than for yourself?
We need to break through society's ambient cynicism and take advantage of this. We need to give everyone more opportunity to do good for others.
This is not naive. This is backed by empirical evidence from world-renowned labs and from our daily experience. Cynicism is overrated, and has never been a source for change.

Watch the free workshopWhere Maac is Applied
Health & Social Services
Empowerment, self-determination, autonomy... Few professionals doubt the value and importance of these concepts, but many find it difficult translating that understanding into action.
Helping others is empowering, and often under-used with 'vulnerable' populations. Maac offers concrete tools to social workers, psychologists, and other support professionals.
Youth & Education
Discover a new kind of service learning with lesson plans, exercises, and discussion topics that draw out young people's (often overlooked) altruistic motivation. This can be applied within the classroom, after school, or in other youth programs.
We've designed this to give educators time, with ready-to-use worksheets, videos explaining the exercises, and everything you need to get started.
Businesses & Organisations
Maac is unique in allowing all employees to find a personalised project with impact. This has been found to be key for employee engagement and wellbeing.
We offer a suite of easy exercises adapted to the work environment. Maac can be particularly effective for giving corporate social responsibility, volunteering, and social impact programs a boost.
