Find a structured way to learn, connect, and take your next steps

The introductory EA Program was my primary onboarding to EA. The In-Depth Program made me far more conversant with EA thinking, to the point of securing a place on the Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program.”

Being surrounded by others who consistently showed up and engaged meaningfully helped me stay accountable. The consistent pacing and back-to-back assignments created a rhythm that made feedback both timely and relevant.”

I had been interested in EA for many years when I signed up to be a facilitator. Virtual Programs helped me become more deeply involved in the community, and led me to pursuing a more impactful career sooner.”

The program has helped me develop a specific impact-focused plan that seems likely to lead to real, concrete opportunities. I have a much clearer idea of which causes I’d like to focus on, and as a result, which types of organizations and resources I should target.”

My next steps feel clearer, I have a few specific opportunities to pursue, and I feel more energised to do this. I’ve also expanded my backup options and have more awareness of some unconventional paths to take.”

There wasn’t an effective altruism university group where I was studying, so I reached out to do an intro fellowship at another university. My first mentor, Jessica McCurdy, helped me think differently about impact.”

Then I saw an announcement for an introductory program to effective altruism in German on Facebook. I signed up, and was absolutely amazed by what I learned and the discussions we had.”

The most valuable aspect of the Career Bootcamp was the accountability it provided. Having to carve out substantial, uninterrupted time blocks for deep thinking was exactly what I needed for improving my career transition strategy and application materials. The bootcamp’s structured framework and carefully curated reading materials made these reflection processes incredibly productive and focused.”

I now see at least two paths I hadn’t seriously considered or had written off as beyond my capabilities. The structure and peer energy have helped a lot with motivation.”
