Contributor Role Proposal: Co-Community Builders (Jon Dean & Jackson)

Jon Dean and Jackson would like to propose co-owning the community builder role.

Role length

Until the end of Season 2 (March 31st) - extendable if everyone (including both of them) is still stoked.

Role Description

Community builders act as the voice, tone, and internal moderators of the Cabin brand through community support, content circulation, onboarding, and digital engagement to build trust and to help provide members with a sense of agency to contribute to the DAO’s overall mission of building a decentralized city for independent online creatives.

Most urgently, community builders onboard new Discord members and token holders so that they feel connected to the DAO, understand its systems, and are empowered to work on projects that excite them. This can be done for both Cabin and the larger web3 ecosystem.

Beyond onboarding, we curate culture by serving members’ needs, fostering a collaborative environment, facilitating connections, and moderating the community.

Success to us means that members of Cabin are excited about contributing to the DAO ecosystem and are able to easily find the resources they need to do their work.
