Effective altruism is about asking "How can I make the biggest difference I can?" and using evidence and careful reasoning to try to find an answer

Effective Altruism
How can we tackle the world's most pressing problems?
Most of us want to improve the world. We see suffering, injustice, and an uncertain future and feel moved to do something about it. But figuring out what that “something” is, let alone actually doing it, can be a difficult and disheartening challenge. Effective altruism is a response to this challenge.
Apply for the Fellowship
The Effective Altruism Fellowship
Join others for a weekly program introducing you to the core ideas of Effective Altruism. The EA Fellowship aims to equip students with the knowledge to do good in the world more effectively, and the tools to think critically about their high-impact career ambitions. By the end of the term, fellows have learned about a handful of large-scale and neglected global problems, have tools for prioritizing among social problems and interventions for solving them, and have access to in-depth coaching, career advice/connections, and unique opportunities to help others.
The deadline for the Spring 2022 Fellowship has passed.
