We are currently looking for
Content writer
Write articles about effective altruism for our website. Topics can vary widely, from global issues like catastrophic risks and conflicts between major powers to career opportunities in high-impact fields or recommendations for engaging podcasts and videos. Compensation is negotiable for those with experience.
Organiser EA Utrecht
You will host monthly social meet-ups in a volunteer’s home or a central, welcoming café or event venue as low-barrier introductions to effective altruism. From finding the perfect spot to spreading the word and guiding inclusive conversations, you’ll blend genuine people skills, organisational flair and your familiarity with EA to create a warm, engaging atmosphere that transforms curiosity into community.
Office event manager
Events, speakers, lightning talks, discussion groups, reading clubs, lunches, dinners, courses, intro events, the list of opportunities is endless. We have a co-working office available for 24/7 hours a week and is perfect for hosting all kinds of events outside office hours. We’ll provide some budget and useful resources. Do you have the agency, motivation and creativity to organise these events for us?
Course facilitator
As a facilitator, you guide a group of participants using a facilitation guide and a suggested agenda. You help others explore effective altruism, stimulate discussion, and support their learning process. This is a valuable opportunity to deepen your own understanding, develop facilitation skills, and make a direct impact. No prior experience is required.
Course coordinator
As a coordinator, you organise the course together with facilitators and ensure a smooth process. You maintain oversight, communicate effectively with facilitators and participants, and collaborate with EAN, which provides weekly check-ins. This is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of effective altruism, contribute to a strong learning environment, and make an impact within a motivated team.

Max Theissen
Intern at EA Netherlands
I greatly valued my role in supporting EA group organisers at EAN, gaining deep insights into strategy and feeling integral to decision-making. Guided expertly by James, I navigated new challenges, enriching my skills and understanding of EAN's mission. The experience enhanced my work style and perspectives, offering lasting benefits. I strongly endorse an EAN internship for anyone seeking to amplify their impact.
Anne Wilms
Volunteering has been incredibly rewarding and has enhanced my ability to do good better. During my time with EAN, I've worked on diverse projects tailored to my interests and availability, allowing me to effectively contribute to the organization's mission. The supportive and collaborative environment at EAN has been key to my positive experience. From day one, I felt welcomed into an organisation eager to share knowledge and experiences. This openness has been both fulfilling and transformative, helping me expand my network, develop new skills, and gain a deeper understanding of EA.
