Welcome to Effective Altruism Chicago!

We're a friendly and welcoming group in Chicago, where people come together to discuss ideas about how to make the world a better place. But more than that, we’re a community where you can meet new people, make meaningful connections, and share ideas—whether you’re passionate about effective altruism or just curious to learn more. Everyone is welcome here!

Effective Altruism (EA) is a global movement that focuses on using evidence and reason to figure out how to do the most good in the world—and then taking action on that knowledge. For more information on EA you can read this post, see this video, and/or look at this list of resources.
