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.
Contributor Progression
Potential Contributors
Content experts from different project teams (Stewards) craft community building strategies that are used to guide potential contributors into volunteer opportunities. Potential contributors are reached through online channels (eg, Get Involved pages) and offline channels (eg, events organized by Mozilla Reps). Each team sets community health and growth targets to measure and optimize the effectiveness of converting people into casual and active contributors.
Casual & Active Contributors
After being matched to a volunteer opportunity, casual and active contributors offer their time and skill to teams to help them advance Mozilla's mission. These contributors can also use their experience to inform community building strategies by taking part in the Stewards program and to recruit and mentor new volunteers by taking part in the ReMo program. As they deepen their involvement they advance to become core contributors.
