All of us have knowledge to share. Here’s how you can join our global community.
We are looking for knowledge activists who are passionate about diverse and open knowledge. We assist volunteers keen to contribute in many different languages, and seek to increase representation of different communities and cultures.
Our volunteers assist in many different areas, including
- organising events around Wikimedia projects
- liaising with partner organisations
- training new editors and trainers
Volunteering with us helps our volunteers to improve their digital literacy, community organising, project management and training skills.
We offer our volunteers support in delivering community projects, micro project grants, compensation for expenses and relevant training. We are keen to hear from all prospective or returning volunteers who have ideas for projects, and suggestions for ways in which they can offer their expertise to the Wikimedia community. If you have any questions, please email our team at volunteering@wikimedia.org.uk.

I am new to the Wikimedia Projects! Where do I start?
If you're new to Wikimedia projects then you're in good company. You're joining the estimated 250,000 people around the world that regularly contribute to the largest reference work the world has ever seen. As one of the 14,000 new editors new to Wikimedia projects, there's a variety of ways that you can become involved in sharing the world's knowledge. Whether you are simply interested in editing Wikipedia, or you're an expert in education looking to support the development and utilisation of open educational resources in formal education settings, we can help you to enjoy contributing in a way that suits you. For ideas about where to start as an editor, check out our blog post: So You've Decided To Become A Wikipedia Editor...
