What is a Firefox Club?

Firefox Clubs are a key grouping of Student Ambassadors at your school which function as Mozilla's liaison at these institutions. As a Firefox Club, it will give you a chance to meet new friends and work as a team to help others learn about our products, grow the Mozilla community (at your school), host events, and participate in campaigns!

How to find a Firefox Club at your university (or create one of your own!)

Check the Club Directory

You're first step is to check our Firefox Club Directory to see if a club for your university already exists. If so, please join!

No group for your school? Here are a 6 easy steps to set one up

On January 31st we finished our most recent round of Firefox Club Lead training.

If you are interested in starting a Firefox Club at your school, please check back during the first week of February, when we'll be adding instructions about how to sign-up for Firefox Club Lead training (and create a Firefox Club) in the upcoming weeks!

Who can join a Firefox Club?

Firefox Clubs are open to all Student Ambassadors who are currently associated with the school. At this time, we ask that you only join the Firefox Club that exists for your specific school.

As a reminder, the Firefox Student Ambassador program is only open to those individuals who are 18+ and currently associated with an institution of higher education.

What resources are available to Firefox Clubs?

Budget and Gear

We are currently working on a plan for the equitable distribution of gear and budget to our Firefox Clubs. We will be sending out updates to Clubs as soon as our plan is solidified. Thank you for your patience!

Recruitment Collateral

What can my Firefox Club do?

Your Club can take part in fun activities that will help promote Mozilla, Firefox, and our mission (while providing opportunities for you to gain more experience in open source technology and take on a whole new leadership process). For more information on the activities which your Club can do, please see here.

How can I recruit new members for my Firefox Club?
