The opportunity to help others at 1000x leverage is already here for all of us.
The most cost-effective [0] charities are a thousand times more effective at helping people as regular charities. For example, for ~$0.5 you can cure a child of parasitic worms in their stomach. For ~$3 you can protect someone form malaria for ~4 years.
You can join thousands of others who choose to give at least 10% of their income to the mot cost-effective charities they can find [1]
And join the Effective Altruism movement to be involved in helping others effectively [2]
