Many organisations in the Effective Altruism community are looking for great operations people right now. In this week's 80000 Hours podcast, Tanya Singh explains the value of her work at the Future of Humanity Institute in Oxford and how you can follow a similar path.

“A good ops person doesn’t just allow you to scale linearly, but also can help figure out bottlenecks and solve problems such that the organization is able to do qualitatively different work, rather than just increase the total quantity”
Listen to the 80,000 Hours podcast with Tara Mac Aulay to learn more about the importance of operations roles in the effective altruism movement.

The key idea of EA Global: San Francisco 2018 is ‘Stay Curious’.
Last year, our focus for EA Global was on ‘doing good together’. But as more people take the ideas behind effective altruism seriously, we must continue to seek new problems to work on, and be mindful that we may still be missing ‘cause X’. Read more: https://efctv.org/2GVl19k

This page was recently reclaimed by the Effective Altruism Community

This page has now been reclaimed by the Effective Altruism Community as of April 2017.

This page has nothing to do with effective altruism.



Edit: Page has been updated, it now does have to do with effective altruism.

This movement positively shaped so many aspects of my life! I feel deeply grateful :)

They just might kill the horsemens of the apocalypse.

My encounter with effective altruism was life defining.

Great to see that the Effective Altruism community had taken this page back.

Glad to see the official page back. Go CEA!

Excellent. Effective Altruism is the best idea I've come across in my life, and I'm thrilled to have a unified organization with explicit and transparent goals steer the ship.

Edited to reflect CEA now owning the page. Old post below.

This is a scam page run by a person looking to promote his own blog. It has no association with the effective altruism community.

EA is a library of excellent knowledges on how to help others most effectively, and a community of excellent people applying this knowledge. By consuming the resources associated with EA, and mingling with its people, you too will probably become more effective at helping others. If you want. : )

Best community I've ever been a part of. Smart, thoughtful and ambitious people.
