Yale Effective Altruism Introductory Fellowship

Are you interested in discussing global problems and thinking about how you can use your career to do the most good? Looking for fall extracurricular opportunities or a community to join? If so, we invite you to join Yale Effective Altruism for our Fall Introductory Fellowship!

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 different resources at our disposal.

The YEA Fellowship is a great opportunity not only to participate in deep and impactful conversations with other Yalies about meaningful career paths, but also to join a global community stretching across all disciplines (philosophy, economics, psychology, political science, computer science, history) working to identify and solve the world’s most pressing problems. We are also excited to help connect you with professionals in any areas of interest you encounter throughout the fellowship!

The fellowship requires about 2-3 hours per week, and applications are short and not meant to be stressful (two short prompts, and one longer prompt). The application is due Sunday, September 15th at 11:59 pm EST.

We hope to see you this fall! (:

Best,
YEA Executive Team
