EA Experience

If you have read any EA-related community building content, please share (a) 1-2 pieces of content that have greatly influenced your thinking about how the EA movement should grow and (b) why. (If you haven't read relevant content, please write "not applicable".)

Why are you a good candidate for EA group organizing?

What do you consider one or two of your most significant accomplishment(s) you have done inside or outside of EA?

Are there any projects you have worked on in EA that we might be familiar with?

Share one EA idea that you are most uncertain and/or concerned about & why. What might cause you to change your mind, if anything?

How many hours/month would you be able to dedicate to an EA group going forward?

How many hours did you spend on group organising in the last month? What were the top 2-3 things you did with this time? (If you have not yet launched your group, please write 0.)

Describe your current plan for your group, and why you chose this plan (If you do not yet have a group plan, please write "not applicable".)

Is there anything else we should know that would help us properly evaluate your application?

Do you have any references that could speak to your qualifications for this project? Please include their name and email address.

References are entirely optional but can improve your application in some cases. References by people who are directly involved in effective altruism and adjacent communities are particularly useful, especially if we are likely to be familiar with their work and thinking. (E.g., long-time members of the effective altruism community who have given you feedback or otherwise engaged with your work.)

If you prefer reaching out to references only at a later stage, please list the names of likely references but indicate clearly that you still need to check with them before we reach out. Note that you will have to check with them quickly once we ask. If we have prior knowledge of a reference or have professional connections to them, we may reach out to them for their opinion of your application without notifying you in advance. We generally will not do this for references that we don't already know.

Please make sure you select or write in a Group on page 1 of this form.
