Mozilla Campus Clubs are a global initiative that engages university students in building and advocating for an open and accessible web. These clubs bring together passionate volunteers who contribute to Mozilla as technologists, innovators, and advocates, fostering a movement that supports open-source development, web literacy, privacy, and security.
Students have played a key role in Mozilla’s history, from early contributions to web browsers like Lynx and Mosaic to the development of Firefox. Over the years, Mozilla has launched various student-focused programs, including the Firefox Student Ambassador Program (2012), the Maker Party (2013), and the Take Back the Web Campaign (2016). Campus Clubs, launched in 2016, build on these foundations with a stronger focus on open-source development, enabling students to collaborate on projects that have a real-world impact.
By leveraging the unique learning environments of universities, Campus Clubs create a space for students to explore, innovate, and drive change, ensuring that the internet remains a public resource that is open, accessible, and built for people.
