The Volunteer Supporters Network (VSN) is an open network of Wikimedians supporting Wikimedia volunteers
Our mission is to enhance volunteer support in the Wikimedia movement.
The impact we want to achieve is to improve the conditions for online and offline participation of volunteers, to increase diversity and to strengthen the spirit of global cooperation and innovation.
The project of an open global volunteer supporters network got going at Wikimania 2014 in London. Since then, we exchange our expertise and experiences as well as collaborate on common issues and tasks on a regular basis by
- Establishing and maintaining communication channels for volunteer supporters from Wikimedia organisations.
- Holding meetings/workshops in the context of international Wikimedia events and beyond.
- Creating and sharing resources for volunteer support.
