EA Climate Change Co-ordination—a reasonable number of EAs are interested in climate change, but nothing seems to have happened in this domain partly due to a lack of co-ordination
EA Leadership program—leadership programs are very popular among students and so this could be a good (if high effort) way of spreading EA ideas
Regarding career workshops, instead of an organisation trying to run this itself, some group could create a training course for people who want to give career advice
A group to perform rationality outreach (spreading rationality ideas generally seems good for in EA as the rationality community produces new ideas for EA and also provides a source of potential recruits)
A project to aggregate ideas on different topics. It could get a bunch of EAs together to brainstorm like this and also allow public submissions. All of the ideas could be written up into a post like this
Media outreach—most EAs are quite negative on media outreach, but I can see value in writing articles that specifically aim to correct misperceptions about both EA and AI
A project to produce personal outreach materials. Some groups (like evangelical Christianity) focus heavily on growing through personal outreach. You don’t want people to end up being pushy, but this is probably worth investigating more
Niche outreach was mentioned, but I expect niche outreach to Christians could be especially valuable
Religious organisations often send people to different cities in order to engage in movement building, this might be something that EA might want to experiment with as well
Hmmm, it would be interesting to organise another event like this where we brainstorm about possible new EA cause areas. Maybe I will do it sometime :-) Or someone else could do it.
I have a few other ideas that aren’t listed here:

Note that an EA for Christians group exists, although I’m not sure if they’ve conducted active outreach much https://www.eaforchristians.org/
Great ideas!
