To inspire and empower individuals and communities to participate in and contribute to Mozilla.

Individuals like yourself that passionately support, champion and contribute to the Mozilla project

Teams (expertise + regional) across the organization

Like-minded communities that have a high affinity for Mozilla and the open web.

Mozilla is a community-driven, participation-based organization that furthers and thrives on individual empowerment.

Individuals interested in contributing to Mozilla should feel empowered and easily find information, tools and support to do so.

Contribution should be meaningful, impactful and rewarding, as well as fun.

Make it easier for us to to find and communicate with each other.

Recruit, mentor and diversify our contributor base, and engage with like-minded communities around the world.

Work across teams (regional + expertise) to help bring even more people into the Mozilla community and foster them.

Create and update shared resources and tools to make contributing to Mozilla even better. Examples:
