Effective Altruismat UIUCHow can we most effectively make the world better? We’re a community of curious students figuring it out together.
01 / THE IDEAS
Effective altruism is the project of trying to find the best ways of helping others, and putting them into practice.
02 / THE COMMUNITY
Most people don’t examine their morals. A vague idea of what you believe in means your ambition and effort get captured by empty incentives: people start playing the status game, or the money game, when they could have found their meaning and worked towards it.
Make your ethical beliefs explicit. What do you care about, and why?
Compare perspectives and evidence. Look for where your effort could help most.
Bring those insights into your studies, your career, and the choices you make.
03 / GET INVOLVED
