Mozilla Advocacy introduces the Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows ProgramThe
Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows program is an initiative designed to find emerging leaders who have a passion for Internet policy and advocacy. Each year, we will select a group of developers, technologists, hackers and data crunchers to spend 10 months working as a Fellow embedded in our host organizations.
The Washington Post recently called the program a way to give “
nonprofits and the government an injection of tech talent” with a “broader aim [of developing] a pipeline, one that tells civic-minded engineers there’s an alternative to Silicon Valley.”
The 2015 Fellowship: 10 months of paid project work to protect the Web- Protecting a free and open Internet: Make real impact on projects creating a healthier Web through technology development, community organizing, educational programs and more.
- Informing policy discussions at leading non-profits: Become embedded in the Internet policy discussions at our host organizations, serving as advisors and ambassadors for an open Web.
- A diversity of talent: Bring together emerging leaders who have a track record of success in technology, organizing and education.
Our 2015 Host Organizations:
