Schedule
Two Cohorts
We have two separate cohorts going through Open Leadership Training this round: Online Cohort and WOW Cohort. The Online Cohort will go through the trainings during online cohort meetings. The WOW Cohort will go through the trainings at an in-person Working Open Workshop (WOW).
Online Cohort
- Meetings (one meeting a week, 30 - 90min)
- 1.5h x 5 - office hours run by Mozilla staff with the entire cohort. We’ll introduce the next module and go over any discussion questions from assignments.
- 30min every 2 weeks - 1:1 mentorship meetings every two weeks with your mentor. Additional topic experts may join from time to time as needed.
- 1h x 3 - demo calls where you’ll share your progress with the Mozilla commmunity and ask for help
- Homework
- 1-2h / week - complete that week’s assignment from the OLTS
Open Leadership Training requires you to add one meeting a week (from 30 to 90min) to your schedule and complete assignments around your open project.
