Hello Mel! 

Thank you, we believe sharing our results is not only a way to share with the community our efforts, but also serves as an incentive for the mentees to keep up the good work. 

As I replied to Joseph, we are still running the second cohort of this first iteration of the mentorship program. We expect to share the results of this second cohort in ~one month from now, so you’ll be hearing (or reading) from us sooner rather than later.

Please, feel free to join us to our next “Final Projects Presentation Event” on September 14^th at 9 am (Mexico City Time), we’d be happy to see you there.

Hello Joseph!

Thank you so much for your comments, we are happy to see our mentees thriving through these opportunities. Although GCR's and EA-Related principles have been introduced before in the LATAM community, it still represents a challenge for early-career individuals looking to pursue an impactful career. Bridging this gap is not only one of our goals as an organization, but also to provide a “box of tools and knowledge” to tackle any pressing global challenges that may incur in the future. Something worth noting, is that most of the applications we received for our programs were from people outside the EA circle, meaning that another added value to our programs is the ability to reach out to promising people who otherwise wouldn’t have known about these topics nor carried out their projects/explored these areas. As our counterfactual evaluation states: “63.6% of the mentees wouldn’t have learned about Cause Prioritization and/or Global Catastrophic Risks” (if it wasn’t for CCI).

Answering your question: 

At this moment, we are still running the second cohort of this first iteration of the mentorship program. We expect to share the results of this second cohort in ~one month from now. 

We’d like to extend you an invitation to the next “Final Projects Presentation Event” on September 14^th at 9 am (Mexico City Time). Most of the presentations will be held in Spanish, but some mentees prefer to present in English to increase their reach.

As for further plans, we are seeking funding to continue running operations over the next year. The plan is to run an improved version of the virtual programs, to run another iteration of this mentorship program and launch a novel “Research Training Program” in collaboration with the UNAM. We are most excited about the last one as we expect to foster a higher-level quality of projects and achieve more specialized deliverables, especially for Technical/Research projects related to Bio and AI.
