Doing the Most Good for the Most People
All of our Fall 2022 events will be held in-person.
Effective altruism is a global movement which teaches people to use logic, evidence, and critical thinking so they can maximize their impact when helping others.
Effective Altruism Association (University of Houston) is a professional student organization. Our mission is to help students find a satisfying career which also benefits the world as much as possible.
We do this by showing you potentially high impact opportunities for helping others, helping you incorporate that into your career plan, and providing ongoing opportunities and guidance for you to achieve your career goals.
We invest heavily in each person’s professional development and provide personalized support and accountability.
