About NH

Hey, I’m Alexa! Welcome to Novel Hand. I’m so excited that you’re here.

Novel Hand is where activism meets impact. We’re a community exploring the best solutions to global humanitarian issues.

To put it simply, we’re learning everything we can about topics like justice, social enterprise and the environment. Novel Hand is our platform to share what we learn.

Novel Hand came out of a disconnect that I noticed in my generation. While we care so much about current humanitarian issues, it can be difficult to find ways to actually make an impact. We’re activists, engaging with important social issues, but there’s so much more to learn about these problems and how we can be involved in their solutions. Globalization and technology have increased our access to pressing humanitarian causes, but they’ve also revealed how complex these issues are both locally and globally.

Through Novel Hand, I want to bridge the gap between my generation’s passion for social issues and innovative solutions that exist to these problems. Knowledge is crucial to bridging this gap, and the Novel Hand site showcases everything we’re learning.

The Site

On The Journal, you’ll find our latest articles and other updates about how we’re exploring impact.

The Our Questions page showcases all of the questions that Novel Hand wants to answer. This question list is dynamic and growing- you can add your own questions as well.

On the Our Resources page, you’ll find resources to learn more about humanitarian and altruistic topics. We know we’re not the only ones producing content about these topics, so we want to make sure you have access to as much information as possible.

You can learn more about our team on the Who We Are page.
