Williams Effective Altruism

When available, the complete list of active Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) for the current academic year can be found on the Office of Campus Life website. If you would like to contact the student leader(s) of this organization, please email [email protected].


Williams EA aims to build a community of “effective altruists” — people who apply strategy and creativity to maximize their positive impact on the world — at Williams College. By serving as a forum to discuss cause prioritization, high-impact career choices, and self-improvement, the club will guide students in applying critical reasoning skills gained in the classroom to current local and global issues. In addition to creating a collective learning space, we would like to raise and donate money to effective charities that we believe can best mitigate global poverty, cure diseases, and save lives.
