What We Do
ClassACT HRX8 is a class-centered alumni network dedicated to social impact.
We support nonprofit initiatives founded, sponsored, or championed by classmates. Through our Current Initiatives, HRX8 helps reduce friction between those who want to help and organizations that need help.
Our work is direct: we connect experience to need, relationships to opportunity, and good intentions to action.
Current Initiatives
Classmate-led and classmate-supported nonprofit efforts where targeted alumni expertise, relationships, and practical guidance can advance impact.
Community-led solutions for health, social services, and human needs.
Creative writing as a pathway to voice, confidence, and connection.
Expanding access to cervical cancer prevention for women who need it most.
Building local capacity to care for children with heart disease.

Experience Becomes Impact

A well-timed introduction, strategic conversation, board connection, professional review, or operating insight can help a promising initiative advance, grow more effectively, and extend its reach.
Built by ’78 Open to the ’8s
