Our Meta-Mentorship Program fits into the Community & Education round eligibility criteria because it is focused on supporting underrepresented groups in becoming leaders in the economy of the future. Our program provides educational resources and personal/professional development strategies to help participants start from little to no crypto and tech knowledge, but leave the program with their indigenous, black, brown, queer, woman centered art published to the blockchain. As these community leaders share their journey and learnings about the web3 space, it can influence other marginalized folks to join beneficial communities that ultimately lead to more diversity and inclusion in the Web3 space.
Our program has two components: local and global. Local participants are joined in real life to physically guide folks through the education, onboarding, and creation process. Global participants are joined in virtual spaces including twitter and even spatial.io. Our participants include everything from curanderas/ healers, activists, musicians, artists, authors, professors and others. Together we are an intersectional community who can exchange knowledge and skills, foster collaboration, and ultimately help to grow the Web3 ecosystem in a more equitable and diverse way.
We have a proven track record in the Web3 space and have already achieved significant milestones, including the successful completion of a pilot program with positive feedback from participants. We use the Satoshi Succulents NFT Collection deployed in June 2022 as both an education and funding tool and used to create some of our tutorials and workshops. Our current milestone is completing the first meta mentorship which will be kicking off early May 2023. We have already accepted some of our first participants also known as resident artist who are detailed on our website. Our long-term goal is to create a ripple effect of positive change, as program participants use their newfound skills and knowledge to uplift others and transform their respective communities from within.
Overall, our Meta-Mentorship Program aligns with the Community & Education round eligibility criteria as we provide educational resources such as youtube tutorials and even personal in real life onboarding. With the focus on BIPOC community members we do take into consideration the friction that exists when participating in some web3 applications and do our best to provide full support, especially when onboarding elders who are not tech natives.
