WordPress Community Deputy Training


This course is a new approach to training deputies on the Community Team. Previously, we had focused training on tasks, like reviewing applications and budgets, or mentoring organizers. We still want to train people on tasks, but recently we decided to spend more time on open source methods and how they’re used in WordPress community organizing — basically explaining the “why” behind the “how we do things.” We hope this will help our deputies to feel more confident in the work they do on this team.

Thanks so much for your time and interest in helping the community team make the WordPress open source project a better place to be! We couldn’t do this without you.
