Empowering the next generation of open web creators
About
Our mission is to create clear, accessible pathways into the open-source ecosystem. We help learners turn their knowledge into practice, discover their strengths, and understand how their contributions can make a real impact.
Through hands-on programs and supportive communities, we empower people to grow new skills and take their first steps as contributors to the WordPress ecosystem.
Across campuses and communities worldwide, participants gain practical experience, publish real projects, and build confidence as contributors to a global culture of open-source creation.
Learn.

The Initiatives
WordPress Education offers three core initiatives, each one provides practical ways for learners to develop skills, connect with the community, and contribute to open-source projects.
The initiative brings WordPress to universities through hands-on events that connect students with professionals and introduce them to open-source collaboration.
Student Clubs expand the other initiatives by building on-campus WordPress communities that keep students learning, collaborating, and growing continuously.
WordPress Credits partners with educational institutions to integrate WordPress into their curriculum, giving students resources, training, and recognition for contributing to real-world nonprofit projects.
