The regular meetups REACH hosts get ~50 people to attend at least four EA meetups a year when they wouldn’t have attended any.
This seems plausibly already the case? There were no EA meetups in Berkeley before I started REACH. Most of the EA meetups draw 8-25 people and it’s not always the same people (there’s a core set of 4 or so who are usually there).
As a result of the things they learned at those meetups, at least ten people change where they’re donating to or what they’re prioritizing in the next year.
This I’m not sure about, happy to hear any anecdotes if this is the case for anyone!
At least five people join the community via REACH events/staying there/interacting with people staying there, and at least one of them is doing useful work in an EA priority area.
I would say at least 5 people have become significantly more involved in the community than they would’ve in the counterfactual. Some of them are at least applying for jobs in EA priority areas.
Just now saw the edit.
