What is Required of a Chainlink Community Advocate?

We are fortunate to have such a talented, passionate, and growing Chainlink community across the globe. Chainlink Community Advocates harness this passion and maximize its potential within their respective communities.

Duties will include both virtual and real-world components such as:

• Host in-person community meetup events
• Manage partner/sponsor and speaker relationships
• Create content to keep your community engaged
• Provide mentorship to new members
• Serve as the local city advocate for visitors and team members

You will join the Chainlink community team on bi-weekly check-up calls and keep us updated on your progress via group chats. We expect Chainlink Community Advocates to be motivated and dedicated to producing measurable results.

How do I Become a Chainlink Community Advocate?

First, you must fill out the Chainlink Community Advocate Application form. If selected, you will then have a vetting call with members from the Chainlink team to ensure our goals and expectations are aligned.

If approved, you will begin the onboarding process. We will deliver you onboarding materials and schedule a follow-up call to go over the role in more detail and answer any questions you have prepared. We will also add you to our Chainlink Community Advocate Discord channel and email group so you have day-to-day contact with the core team and fellow Advocates.

As your local community grows, there are additional opportunities to expand your role from a Chainlink Community Advocate to a Chainlink Regional Advocate. This will come with additional responsibilities and perks. More information on Regional Advocates will be released in the future.

How Many Community Advocates are You Selecting, and From Where?

Our community and technology impact stretches across the world, and we think our Community Advocate Program should as well. Ultimately, our goal is to have Chainlink advocates in countries all over the world, so If you can find a group of people interested in learning about connected smart contracts, we invite you to apply for our program.
