Vision

Mozilla Fellows and Leaders
Evolve Fellows programs -- and build a leadership development offering

• Strategy: Find and invest in the next generation of open web leaders in their area of topic expertise who can galvanize more people and drive change
• Develop a strategic plan for growing the scale and impact of this part of Mozilla’s learning and community work over the next 10 years
• Develop fellows programs science, web literacy and core computer science research related to the future of the web. For web literacy, focus potential fellows program in US, Africa and Asia
• Expand and improve training for Webmaker mentors in concert with ReMo.
• As part of this, prototype a ‘Working the Mozilla Way’ element of this training that could be adapted to use with Mozilla staff and volunteers in other areas

Common on-boarding, curriculum, and metrics

• We have a horizontal search and application process (i.e., underneath each fellowship's application period /campaign, there's a common CRM and set of processes).
• We have a common leadership/skill development playbook, and fellows will earn certification.
• We have a common way/curriculum for fellows to understand Mozilla's history, culture, values and vision - participate in workshops/discussions with Mozilla leadership and staff.
• We have common way for fellows create and implement an individual action plan with specific goals and metrics during and post-fellowship.
