This is: Announcing CEA’s University Group Accelerator Program (UGAP), published by jessica mccurdy on March 1, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The University Group Accelerator Program (UGAP) is a program run by the Centre For Effective Altruism that aims to take a university group from a couple of interested organizers to a mid-sized new EA group. It offers stipends for main organizers, regular meetings with an experienced mentor, trainings, and useful resources to run your first intro seminar (or fellowship) program. The next round of the program will begin in September and we expect to open applications in the early summer. However, we think it is great for potential organizers to start thinking early about whether they would like to participate and take action this semester to prepare the group to apply. Further information can be found on this page which includes information on: How to prepare to be ready to participate in UGAP How to express interest Stipends Qualifications And more! We are also looking for additional experienced organizers to serve as mentors. You can find out more about and express interest in becoming a UGAP mentor here. 30 groups have participated this semester across 5 continents and we are eager to expand this Summer!
