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

After. What this will look like in Dec 2015? (one paragraph)

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 to create and implement an individual action plan with specific goals and metrics during and post-fellowship.
