WGMI Community Manager Bootcamp | Phase 1

Presented by the WGMI DAO Leadership: MattWright.eth & Bootcamp Lead: CStreet.eth

Our Mission

The WGMI DAO is building a comprehensive and free educational Bootcamp designed to educate and empower aspiring community professionals. Our collective community experience will help guide a carefully crafted curriculum designed to support the web3 community at large and help many projects, protocols and DAOs struggling to manage the humans who wish to support their work.

<aside> 🤝 We are currently seeking mission-aligned partnerships to help provide the resources to bring this mission to life and also incorporate the work of our partners into our curriculum to make the strongest possible public goods resource to empower our communities across the web3 space.

Our web3 ecosystem is currently under-resourced in the areas of community building and management which leaves it vulnerable to dysfunction as chaos seeps into ungovernable community frameworks. In order to address the lack of human resources in web3, the WGMI Community is building a Bootcamp designed to educate and empower capable and confident community professionals to strengthen and support our ecosystem.

Phase 1 of The WGMI Community Manager Bootcamp is a free public goods educational resource that will fully equip newcomers to community as a professional vocation with the necessary foundation to begin working in this field.

Our Objectives

• Expose newcomers to the nuances of community management in decentralized ecosystems.
• Equip students with the necessary foundational skill-sets to immediately begin working in web3 communities and gain their desired experience in a fast, yet productive manner.
• Teach students the nuanced skills of managing communities in a human-centric way that utilizes technology to support community, not solely outsource community management to technological tools and apps.
• Identify and navigate the pitfalls of community building and management in the web3 ecosystem that has distinct mechanisms not seen in other industries; such as tokenization, on-chain governance and “right to exit” as a cultural expectation.
• Help community managers create safe environments for their members in an ecosystem that can be toxic, challenging, predatory and at times unsafe.
• Empower community builders to manage their communities with confidence, compassion, humanity and mission-driven mentalities without burning out from an expectation of 24/7 oversight.
• Explore and introduce the most valuable technological tools to support their community management role in a manner that is accessible to the student’s technical abilities and satisfies the minimum industry standards for running a virtual community in the web3 ecosystem.
• Provide virtual teaching, mentorship and ongoing support for community professionals who attend and complete the Bootcamp and help foster their growth in this profession.
