The Contributor Engagement team helps all Mozillians achieve crazy and ambitious goals by bringing in volunteers to their teams. We call this the Grow Mozilla initiative.
We partner with teams at Mozilla to bring in, match and mentor volunteers. We use our tools, channels and expertise to create community building plans. We have created a volunteer field organization nearly as large as our paid staff that help put these plans into action.
When you have an idea or need to jump start an existing project and need people, talk to us. With a little of your time and attention, we can work as partners to create and execute plans for new volunteers.
Volunteer Progression
Potential Contributors
Staff and volunteer experts from different functional and regional areas work in Contribute Groups to craft community building strategies that are used to match potential contributors to opportunities. Potential contributors are reached through online channels (such as the Get Involved page) and offline channels (such as events organized by Mozilla Reps) using various tools (such as Events Manager). 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. Contributor tools (such as the Phonebook) help paid and volunteer staff communicate and work together. These contributors can also use their experience to inform community building strategies (such as working in a Contribute Group) and to recruit and mentor new volunteers (such as joining the Mozilla Reps program).
Core Contributors
As volunteers take on an ownership role (such as being a Module Owner) and deepen their involvement, they mature and become core contributors. These volunteers are peers with all Mozilla employees who are also core contributors through their ownership of defined roles in the organization. We are also working to create an Advisors program, an effort to identify Mozillians with unique insight, that would give core contributors the opportunity to share their experience at all levels of Mozilla.
