'''Developing recruiting resources for new volunteers.''' Wikimedia is made of people. To grow our global community, we need to excite people about the prospect of being part of it – and help them with their first steps. To this end, we develop and maintain a library of outreach resources, such as videos and screencasts, but also printed "how-tos" and other more targeted resources (for teachers, librarians, students, and others). See the [[outreach:Bookshelf|bookshelf of outreach resources]].
