Starting EA community offices
Effective altruism
Some cities, such as Boston and New York, are home to many EAs and some EA organizations, but lack dedicated EA spaces. Small offices in these cities could greatly facilitate local EA operations. Possible uses of such offices include: serving as an EA community center, hosting talks or reading groups, providing working space for small EA organizations, reducing overhead for event hosting, etc.
(Note: I believe someone actually is looking into starting such an office in Boston. I think (?) that might already be funded, but many other cities could plausibly benefit from offices of their own.)
Here are some of the curricula that HAIST uses:
The technical intro fellowship curriculum. It’s structured as a 7-week reading group with ~1 hour of reading per week. It’s is based off of BlueDot’s AISF and the two curricula have co-evolved (we exchange ideas with BlueDot ~semesterly); a major difference is that the HAIST curriculum is significantly abridged.
The policy fellowship syllabus.
The HAIST website also has a resources tab with lists of technical and policy papers.
