You will learn a bunch of useful skills and develop some important collaboration attitudes.

Mozilla

Mission

Mozilla is a non-profit organization whose goal is to keep the Internet alive and accesible so people worldwide can be informed contributors and creators of the Web.

The Mozilla Manifesto summarizes our values and principles.

Participation & Community

Mozilla is supported by one of the largest communities of volunteers worldwide. These volunteers help us…

• Fixing bugs and implementing features in Bugzilla.
• Translating and localizing our software in the l10n team.
• Speaking about technologies at Tech Speakers program.

And the participation is not limited to tech people.

• Mozilla Campus Clubs are student organizations to teach, build and protect the Open Web on Universities and Colleges.
• If are not an student, try with Mozilla Clubs
• Go to the application form if you want to start a new club.

Former campaigns

• The Campus Campaign program is aimed at empowering students so they can drive real personal and social change.
• First campaign, Take Back the Web, is focused on privacy.
• But this is only the first of many others.
