Want to join our community, feel free to join our Discord server and poke around! https://discord.gg/3eR8WhQtwm Effective altruism is about answering one simple question: how can we use our resources to help others the most? Rather than just doing what feels right, we use evidence and careful analysis to find the very best causes to work on. But it's no use answering the question unless you act on

it. Effective altruism is about following through. It's about being generous with your time and your money to do the most good you can. Effective altruism is a global intellectual project that seeks to ask and answer: given my circumstances and the skills I will acquire over the course of my life, what are the actions and career paths I can take that will maximize the amount of good I do in the world? And importantly, what is the evidence that those actions really do do good in the world. Make the right career choices, and you can help solve the world’s most pressing problems, as well as have a more rewarding, interesting life. We’re here to give you the information you need to find that fulfilling, high-impact career. Our advice is all free, tailored for talented graduates, and based on five years of research alongside academics at Oxford. Learn more about the movement here:
