Community

MozFest is not just an annual date on the calendar. It's a collaborative community taking action on the issues that matter most all-year long.

MozFest is all about community.

We gather, online and in person to connect, collaborate, and make positive change in our digital world. From our Volunteers to our Wranglers, from our Ambassadors to our Facilitators – and let's not forget our Working Group Leads – we are human rights and digital activists, artists, technologists, teachers, and students with a single mission: a better, healthier, internet.

Federated Design Principals

MozFest is shared by design. Mozilla gives Wranglers driving lessons, and then hand them the keys to the car. In turn, they chart a map that Facilitators use make the schedule come to life. Those Facilitators then take participants on a ride that inspires them to take action in their own local communities. And the Volunteers are the mechanics that ensure our adventure runs smoothly each step of the way.

Wranglers

These individuals seek out new and exciting directions for the festival and who will lead the festival’s Spaces and Experiences.

Volunteer at MozFest

Volunteers make magic happen in every nook and cranny of the festival. There is no job seen as too big or too small for our dedicated crew. The ethos of volunteering lies at the very core of the movement and how Mozilla operates. It’s not just about showing up or getting experience to put on a resume. It’s about friendships, connecting throughout the year, and uniting together as one Mozilla community.
