Hi!
As I mentioned in the post, I'd delete the database in a month from the post for privacy reasons. My apologies for the inconvenience :/
Ah understood, sorry for missing. I think you might want to consider deleting the post in that case though
As mentioned in the original plan, the database is no longer active for privacy purposes.
Many young people in EA struggle to find belonging/acceptance in pursuing EA-aligned careers in high school, university, and their early career. It's hard to stay committed to these goals when most people around you are just interested in personal security, getting a degree, or making money.
If you're lucky, you might have a small EA club at your university. Or you might get accepted into a fellowship to learn about shared interests. Still, these opportunities are limited in quantity and time. Also, from personal experience at two university clubs and three fellowships, there's a lack of opportunities to develop personal, not just professional, relationships.
To get around this, I'm creating a database of young people in EA hoping to meet 1-on-1. The intention is to avoid being prescriptive with why/how people reach out. Also, to take a small first step in gauging interests for more personal, 1-on-1 connections among young people in EA.
Some potential ways I could imagine people using the information:
Use this one-minute form if you'd like to take part in the database. I'll reach out in about a week to share the information everyone submitted :-)
Regarding privacy:
Have you looked at EA Anywhere? You might be able to set up something up through that
This is certainly a useful resource for those who live in areas without the effective altruism groups around them! Thank you for sharing :-)
