[liberationtech] Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows | Mozilla Advocacy

[Yosem Companys]

Five nonprofit organizations around the world will be hosting our five
Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows in 2015. During the Fellowship, we will
immerse the next generation of leaders in projects that create better
technical understanding among civil society and policy makers. It will
also create a stronger affirmative agenda that creates better public
awareness of Internet policy issues, and improved cross-sector
coordination.

Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows will:

Contribute to existing and new projects that create a healthier, more
trustworthy Web. This can be accomplished in multiple ways, including
technology development, community organizing, education programs, and
more.

Serve as technology advisors, mentors and ambassadors to the partner
nonprofit organizations, helping to better inform the Internet policy
discussion.
Work in the open and as a cohort, embedded within host organizations
and collaborating with other Fellows

Who Should Apply

Fellowship programs bring together a diverse collection of people with
shared skills and experiences to spend time and collaborate together.
For the Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows program, we are looking for
emerging leaders who have a passion for informing the public policies
that impact the Internet.

We are looking for people with a track record of making and
contributing to projects – through a variety of skill sets, including
technology, organizing, and education — and an interest in working
with Mozilla and our host organizations on specific initiatives to
advance and protect the free and open Web. We are an inclusive program
and seek Fellows that reflect the diversity of the communities we
serve. Women and other under-represented participants in technology
are strongly encouraged to apply for a Ford-Mozilla Open Web
Fellowship.

Application deadline: December 31
