==Learning: Workshops==
We have created some workshops that will help you walk through the process of designing your project for participation. These are available in a variety of formats to fit with your needs—you can interact with this through a series of short videos or you can set up an exercise for your whole team to work through this content together.

Getting visibility into the growth and health of our communities is vital to bringing more volunteers into Mozilla and to have all contributors working to support Mozilla's goals. We are building dashboards to give us this insight.
