# Call for community mods ## We’re looking for community moderators for Taxonomy Talk! We're looking for 2-3 community members to help nurture our growing Discord community. As a moderator, you'll help maintain the welcoming, collaborative environment that makes Taxonomy Talk special. ### What we're looking for: * Community members who can dedicate about an hour per week to browsing discussions and helping keep things running smoothly * People interested in identifying engaging topics and potential speakers for our events * Individuals who can respond to basic community needs and questions * Those interested in helping the community become more self-organizing The role is intentionally flexible and low-maintenance - we believe the best communities are those that can largely self-organize with minimal top-down governance. ### Moderators will: * Be invited to casual meet-and-greets with the mod team * Be added to notifications for new speaker and volunteer applications * Help identify interesting discussions and themes from the community * Assist with basic community management as needed We value having moderators from different backgrounds and experience levels in the taxonomy field. You don't need to be a senior practitioner or well-known name--we're looking for engaged community members who care about fostering good discussions. If this sounds like something you'd enjoy being part of, we'd love to hear from you! ### Ready to Apply? Fill out [the application form](https://forms.worldiaday.org/taxotalk-modapp)! We'll get back to you within two weeks with next steps. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
