It’s time to Take Back the Web!
A new opportunity to make a difference on your campus is coming to the FSA program!
Every day we share information about ourselves online, but we don’t always know what happens to the data we share or whose hands it ends up in. In order to have meaningful control of our online lives we have to understand our choices.
That’s why the Take Back The Web Campaign is looking for students and mentors like you, who are ready to work together to raise awareness and empower people on your campus to make informed choices about how personal information is used online.
If you’re ready to make a difference, it’s as easy as building your team and applying!
Step one. Put together a great team! You’ll need 2-5 members on your team. Think about the technical, organizing, community building, and facilitating skills you’ll need to have the greatest impact. This team can include people who are and are not student ambassadors!
Step two. Apply! Put your application together online and submit it here by April 15th.
Each team will receive training, support and mentorship from Local Coaches, through the campaign to help you make the biggest change possible on your campus. You can learn more about the program and the three Impact Areas on the website at https://takebacktheweb.mozilla.community.
We can’t wait to meet you and your team! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team at campuscampaign [at] mozilla.com.
