At Yale Effective Altruism, our mission is to answer one question: how can we do the most good with our resources? We are driven to solve the largest problems that humanity faces today—whether it be global health, extreme poverty, animal welfare, engineered pandemics, AI risk, nuclear security, climate change, or other existential and global catastrophic risks—through research, public policy, ethics, charity entrepreneurship, philanthropy, direct work, and the many other resources at our disposal. l. In joining us, you will not only enjoy deep and lasting conversations, but also find a global community stretching across all disciplines, such as philosophy, political science, and computer science, working together to identify and solve these problems.
​
Yale Effective Altruism's Fellowship is designed to prepare students to maximize their positive impact in the future. Open for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students, fellows deeply engage with ideas and strategies for improving the world through evidence and reason. Applicants should be driven to do as much good as they can, open-minded and eager to update their beliefs in response to critical discussion and holistic evidence, and ready to commit ~3 hours per week across ~8 weeks. Applications are short and not meant to be stressful (three <100-word prompts, one ~200-word prompt, and brief interview).
Our fellowship is currently open to all incoming and current Yale students. For non-Yale students, we recommend EA Virtual Programs. If you have any questions, please reach out to yaleeas@gmail.com. In addition to the Introductory Fellowship, we host a range of events and activities, which you are more than welcome to participate. You can sign up to our newsletter to hear about our upcoming events.
