The Community Deputy role was created in an effort to both decentralize management of the overall Community program and help with the large volume of daily emails. It started with a small pilot program in October of 2014 and has grown from there.
In 2023, the Deputy name was retired and new contributor names were chosen:
WordCamp Mentors became Event Supporters.
Community Deputies became Program Supporters.
Super Deputies became Program Managers.
While the name has changed, Program Supporters remain vital to our event programs and come from all cultural backgrounds and parts of the world.
Training is done in orientations and through our handbooks, and peer mentoring is an important part. There is not nearly enough full-time Community Team staff members to support all of the meetup groups and WordCamp organizers in the world; our Program Supporters make the Make/Community program possible.
If you need more information about becoming a Program Supporter, you can join us in a Community Chat on Slack or ask to join the next Program Supporter Training Session.
