Editing SEEDS Changemakers Program

The '''SEEDS Changemakers to Citizens Pilot Program''' is an ambassador program designed as a model for onboarding non-SEEDizen changemakers to [[SEEDS|SEEDS]] Citizens using a self-organization system based on caring.

=Overview=
[[File:Partnerism.jpg|thumb]][[File:Opo.jpg|opo.org|thumb]]The program supports 125 active regeneration changemakers in the non-SEEDS world, those that are committed to regeneration, and often find cryptocurrency and blockchain systems as too difficult or exclusive to understand or participate in. The program is based on the values of caring, mutuality and self organization. The program provide the changemakers with a family-like framework to discover what they resonate with, how to co-create, and where to gain support in becoming a high [[SEEDS_Glossary#Reputation|Reputation]] Citizen of SEEDS.

=Operation=
The 125 changemakers will be selected by the Changemaker Ambassador team. Each applicant must meet complete a [https://forms.gle/fV46q28aAiGg35yR6 changemaker survey] to document how they are regenerative changemakers in the non-SEEDS world. The objective is to support at least 50 of the changemakers to become Citizens from non-SEEDS participants.

==Group support==
* A dedicated Discord server for onboarding changemakers to Citizens, integrated with the comprehensiveness of the main SEEDS Discord server.
* A user-friendly game guide via a [[SEEDS_Changemaker_Guide|SEEDS Changemaker Guide Wiki]] that includes:
** [[SEEDS_Changemaker_Guide#Becoming_a_SEEDS_Citizen|Clear instructions on becoming a Citizen]]
** [[SEEDS_Changemaker_Guide#Voting_On_and_Submitting_Proposals|Voting on and Developing Proposals for Campaigns and Alliances]].
** Clear guidelines on voting on and submitting Proposals
** [[SEEDS FAQ]]
** [[SEEDS Roadmap to Globally Regenerative Economies]]
** [[SEEDS Glossary]]
* Descriptions of voted in Campaigns and Alliances, like the [[Regenerating Central America]] Campaign
* Develop our own tools and educational material, in sync with the [https://mbc.joinseeds.earth Movement Building Circle].
* Joining the Ambassador Academy as a cohort with a certain start date.
* Assisting others in becoming Citizens through the next Changemaker Ambassador cycle.

==Invites/sponsorships==
* The Ambassadors will each invite up to 20 changemakers = Total 100.
* To provide support, the Ambassadors will sponsor 5 changemakers who were invited by someone else = 25
* Because of [[SEEDS_Changemakers_to_Citizens_Pilot_Program#Seeds_rewards|how the reward system works]], Changemakers are strongly recommended to only invite people that they will also invest the time to onboard to become active participants in the SEEDS ecosystem, otherwise that person should be invited by a SEEDizen who will.
* The intent of the reward system is to incentivize SEEDizens for supporting non-SEEDizens in becoming active SEED Citizens, not for simply sending out invites which often lead to abandoned accounts.

==Seeds rewards==
* Changemakers directly invited by Ambassadors are rewarded 1000 Seeds for becoming Citizens, with 100 advanced at the invite to become a Visitor, 200 advanced to become a Resident, the balance of 700 rewarded upon becoming a Citizen.
* All SEEDS members including changemakers are rewarded 750 [[SEEDS_Glossary#Deferred_Seeds|Deferred Seeds]] for every person they invite that becomes a Resident, 1250 Deferred Seeds for every person they invite that becomes a Citizen (2000 total).
* A donor advanced 10,000 Seeds to Be The Change Cooperative as a forgivable loan to start onboarding people immediately, as the proposal will take at least two to three lunar cycles before it is funded, if it is voted in by October 6, 2021.
* Changemaker Tokens - Based on the SEEDS Gratitude and Acknowledgements reward system, changemakers will be rewarded for unsolicited action based on the principles of a gifting economy. Changemakers and Ambassadors will recognize contributions by providing Changemaker Tokens, backed by a Changemaker Seed Bank distributing 20,000 Seeds over three months (4000, 6000, 10,000) based on Changemaker Tokens earned. Examples of Changemaker Tokens:
** Hosting group calls in addition to Changemaker Ambassador calls, self organized by the changemakers
** Participating in group calls self organized by the changemakers
** Acts of caring, kindness, community, generosity, ingenuity, inclusion
** Acts of contribution towards growing the SEEDS ecosystem
** Acts of service in supporting each changemaker in becoming an informed Citizen

==Seeds distribution==
* Distribution can begin immediately using the 10,000 Seeds on forgivable loan from a Seeds lender/sponsor.
* Each of the Changemaker Ambassadors are responsible for gifting Seeds to the appropriate changemakers. Be The Change Cooperative will send up to 2000 Seeds to each Changemaker Ambassador until there is further funding.
* Once funded, Be The Change will send Seeds to each Changemaker Ambassador to support all 125 changemakers as they progress to each level, with the following participation guidelines:
** Meeting minimum contributions determined by to-be-determined number of Changemaker Tokens earned
** Attended four community meetings
** Watched selected videos on the SEEDS ecosystem

==Ambassador remuneration==
* Ambassadors, as well as approved changemakers, will be remunerated 500 Seeds for every community meeting facilitated.
* All SEEDs members including Ambassadors are rewarded 2000 [[SEEDS_Glossary#Deferred_Seeds|Deferred Seeds]] for every participant they invite that becomes a Citizen.

=Foundational Systems=
The program is based on the following systems
* A caring-based system, [[Partnerism]] that recognizes the economic value of care and adequately rewards it in both the market & non-market sectors. 
* A [[Self_Organizing_Systems|self organizing system]] known as [[Open_Participatory_Organization_(OPO)]], based on the principle of ‘roles are known by all, and owned by none’. It runs on CRISP (Continuously Restarting Its Starting Position) Governance - governance that is truly continuously renewing, reinventing, revitalizing itself.

=History=
[[Be The Change Cooperative]], a cooperative of changemakers supporting the development of ‘ecovillages-in-a-building’ that are designed, governed, and owned by local communities, developed a proposal to onboard 125 non-SEEDS participants into the SEEDS ecosystem as [[SEEDS_Glossary#Citizen|SEEDS Citizens]]. The facilitators of the program are graduates of the [[SEEDS_Glossary#Ambassador_Academy|SEEDS Ambassador Academy]], and includes a cohort of 5-10 Ambassadors from around the world (Africa, Asia, Europe, US, Asia, South America). The proposal includes a request of 1000 Seeds per invited participant, to be rewarded as invites of the Ambassadors.

-* The objective is to eventually establish a program (not currently supported) where anyone is either remunerated or rewarded for helping onboard people into the SEEDS ecosystem regardless of who invited them. The role of Host would be based on what one does, not an earned title. The ideal would be to remove rewarding the minimal effort of inviting someone altogether. Until then we need to work within the existing system to prevent people from burning out from over-volunteering.
