Content title: Get to Know the Training Team's Guide Program
Topic description:
Are you interested in helping people learn how to use, design, or develop with WordPress – but not sure where to get started?
The WordPress.org Training team's Guide Program is a nifty pathway geared to helping folks take their first steps toward contributing, by matching experienced team members with new contributors. Over the course of about a month, each Guide helps a new contributor begin contributing to the Training team, in whatever area most interests them, whether it's translating content, creating video lessons, running an online workshop, or taking notes at a weekly team meeting.
During this informal Q&A with Training team member Sumit Singh, you'll learn how the Guide program works, why it's so rewarding – both for the Guide and the new contributor – and why it might be just the thing you've been looking for to help you get more involved with the WordPress project.
Bring your curiosity and questions to this online workshop. Who knows? You may get inspired to take the plunge, whether as a new contributor, or as a Guide yourself!
