In order to successfully establish the Wikipedia Education Program in the US and Canada as a Thematic Organization, the organization should have at least 25 interested members. Please sign up below if you plan to become a member of the Wiki Education Foundation. Current program participants, including Ambassadors, professors, and students, are encouraged to become members of this organization!

From the proposal:

How to become a member of WMEF-USCA

Anyone can become a member of the program. There will be a simple online process for signing up, with minimal requirements, such as agreeing with the guiding principles, which the Board will develop. Members will need to renew annually to remain in good standing and to be listed in the directory. All members automatically become members of the bi-national organization and may join any (and multiple) topical and local WikiEd Groups. Members may also elect to take on various responsibilities from a checklist of options, such as taking on an Ambassador role or providing financial support.

• Topical WikiEd Groups will develop among WEF-USCA's members who are interested in a similar academic subject. Members will provide subject-specific guidance for student editors and instructors participating in the program.
  • For example, a group of Sociology professors, Wikipedians, and graduate students may decide to form a Sociology WikiEd Group. They will work together to advise Sociology professors when designing the Wikipedia assignment and monitor student work to suggest content-based changes. The Sociology WikiEd Group may also decide to edit Sociology articles themselves, work closely with WikiProject Sociology, compile a database of reliable resources, assess the quality of all Sociology articles at the end of each term, identify the best articles for Good Article nomination, etc.
• Local WikiEd Groups will provide face-to-face coordination among classes on a specific campus or in a specific city. These members may still provide the assignment design consultation to instructors but should work closely with any relevant Topical WikiEd Group.
  • For example, a group of people at Louisiana State University may join to form the LSU WikiEd Group. Similarly, Georgetown University, George Washington University, etc. may wish to join forces for the Washington, D.C. WikiEd Group.
• WikiEd Group requirements: A team of five or more people may form a WikiEd Group through a simple application process where they will demonstrate alignment with WEF-USCA's mission. To maintain good standing, groups will be need to submit periodic reports to the central staff.
