We think university EA groups can be incredibly valuable. However, we know organising or starting a new group can feel overwhelming. The Organiser Support Programme (OSP), a remote programme run by the Centre for Effective Altruism, is here to help. We make organising a university EA group achievable, accessible, and effective. Our programmes have supported over 200 organisers and we are excited to help you too!

As in previous rounds, please note that OSP does not offer organisers a stipend. However, if this impacts your ability to apply, we would appreciate hearing from you as we continue to assess this aspect of the program.
