Mozilla is creating an Open Source Student Club program dedicated to creating and supporting a network of clubs on university and colleges around the world who are learning about and contributing to open source projects and open web technologies. | |||
== Current State: == | |||
There are currently more than [https://campus.mozilla.community/connect/ 160 active Clubs], primarily in Asia. The program is now being reexamined for a US audience, where based on [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/15qoQLAvaSvR17PYQBMh-7YQ6fxV1PO7jHUa77ZstnCg/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000 extensive research], our focus will be on empowering and connecting existing open source clubs by providing training, content and connection opportunities. | |||

== Objective & Alignment with Mozilla's Mission: == | |||
Our mission is to ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all. An Internet that truly puts people first, where individuals can shape their own experience and are empowered, safe and independent. | |||
We believe that students are uniquely positioned to make a difference in the world and that by bringing together and supporting local groups who care about the open internet we can achieve great things. | |||
