This page includes high-level and detailed plans and requirements for the Mozilla Foundation's 2015 key initiatives: Webmaker, Mentor Networks, and a new Leaders and Fellows initiative.

The Plan

This journey started 5 years ago in Barcelona at Learning, Freedom & the Web. We’ve experimented and adapted
 along the way -- developing Webmaker, Hive, Maker Party, our fellows programs. But the challenge remains the same: to radically empower individuals with the skills they need to make the web.

Start here. The high-level 2015 plan.

In 2015, we'll continue to build on what we've achieved with Webmaker, Hive, Maker Party, our fellows programs over the past few years. Specifically we plan to:

  • Improve and grow our local mentor programs (Hive, Maker Party, etc).
  • Build up an engaged user base for Webmaker, both mobile and desktop.
  • Prototype a simple leadership development program, test w/ fellows and ReMo.

We'll also work on plans in 2015 to pull our existing initiatives -- plus other programs like MDN -- into a bigger Mozilla Learning or Mozilla University initiative.

1) Mentor Networks

Focused on teachers and mentors. 2015 goal: Improve value to — and impact of — mentor network. Strategy: a) evolve Maker Party into a network of local clubs, b) grow more Hives.
