Grow mozilla draft
(grow mozilla logo goes here)
The Grow Mozilla initiative exists to add more casual, active and core contributors to all areas of the Mozilla project.
The Contributor Engagement and People teams provide programs, channels and tools that are used by all teams across the entire Mozilla organization to successfully find and work with new contributors.
Programs
(Intro + flow diagram to show how programs fit together)
Mozilla Reps (ReMo)
Mozilla Reps and Student Reps are volunteer Mozillians who are official representatives of Mozilla in their region/locale. Reps take the action plans created by Stewards and spread the word about Mozilla's projects and help match people with contribution opportunities. Find out more on the ReMo wiki page.
Mozilla Stewards
Mozilla Stewards are employees and volunteers from all functional and regional areas who work together with the Contributor Engagement team to create and execute action plans for recruiting new contributors to their project. The Stewards program provides a path for active contributors to deepen their experience and increase their impact. Find out more on the Stewards wiki page.
Mozilla Advisors
Mozilla Advisors are experienced core contributors who are sharing their input and experience at the highest levels of the Mozilla organizational structure. The Advisors program identifies and prepares these Mozillians to help maximize their impact on the Mozilla project. Find out more on the Advisors wiki page.
More details about all of these programs can be found on the wiki pages linked to above.
