We are thrilled to announce a new opportunity to join the WordPress Community Team as a Supporter. As part of our ongoing efforts to grow and nurture the WordPress community, we’re onboarding new volunteers to help foster community engagement.
What Does It Mean to Be a Community Supporter?
As a Community Team Supporter, you’ll play a vital role in helping us maintain a thriving, welcoming, and supportive environment. Some of the main tasks you will help the community team with are
- Mentoring WordCamps and WordPress Events
- Vetting Meetup, WordCamps/WordPress Events and do_action events applications
- Managing community support channels
What to Expect:
- Commitment & Engagement: We ask for a clear commitment to your role, including time and active participation, to ensure our community continues to grow and flourish. This activity will also qualify under the 5ftF pledge program.
- Clear Roles & Responsibilities: We’ll provide you with well-defined role descriptions so you can contribute effectively from the start. Expect hands-on projects, workshops, and group discussions to deepen your involvement.
- Interactive Learning: Our onboarding process is designed to be engaging! Through quizzes, scenario-based learning, and group discussions, you’ll develop the skills and confidence needed for your role.
- Peer Support & Accountability: You’ll be assigned a buddy from your cohort to encourage mutual accountability and foster strong relationships. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to mentor future cohorts.
How to Apply:
Submit your application today! For those who have applied as Community Team Supporters: We have been working to onboard new Community Support members, but some applications have stalled. We apologize for the delay. If you’re reading this announcement and are still interested in joining the team, please reapply.
