Effective Altruism Society: Welfare Officer

If you had donated £1,000 to the Against Malaria Foundation in the early 2000s, you could have provided 500 life-saving mosquito nets, potentially preventing dozens of child deaths. Wise investments pay off, and- through my 3-pillar strategy below- I hope you see that voting for me is one of them. 

1. Build on the Arete fellowship
   As an Arete fellow myself, I find that the program is one of the most impactful ways to introduce students to EA, but we can do more to enhance its reach and effectiveness. I will introduce advanced workshops and speaker sessions for alumni of the fellowship, allowing them to dive deeper into areas like AI safety, global health, and effective giving. 
2. Expand EA Outreach
   I hope to expand social events, discussion groups, and joint initiatives with other London-based EA societies to connect our members with the broader EA network. I will also introduce project-based initiatives, where members work on tangible impact-driven projects. 
3. Expand career-focused EA initiatives
   I will implement career-focused initiatives to help members translate EA principles into real-world impact. This would mean forging partnerships with EA-aligned organizations to provide internships, research opportunities, and career mentorship. By doing so, we will ensure that members leave UCL ready to make a difference.

To make this possible, your vote is crucial. Together, let’s make UCL EA the best it can be. I value your support.
