There were ~20 Fellows, mostly undergrad-aged with one younger and a few older.
Stayed in Leverage house for ~3 months in summer 2016 and did various trainings followed by doing a project with mentorship to apply things learnt from trainings
Training was mostly based on Leverage ideas but also included fast-forward versions of CFAR workshop, 80k workshop. Some of the content was taught by Leverage staff and some by CEA staff who were very ‘in Leverage’s orbit’.
I think most fellows felt that it was really useful in various ways but also weird and sketchy and maybe harmful in various other ways.
Several fellows ended up working for Leverage afterwards; the whole thing felt like a bit of a recruiting drive.
Do you have a link for more description of the Pareto program?
