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

Overview

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 Reputation Citizen of SEEDS.

Operation

The 125 changemakers will be selected by the Changemaker Ambassador team. Each applicant must meet complete a 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

Invites/sponsorships

  • Each of the 5 Ambassadors will invite 20 changemakers into SEEDS = 100.
  • Each of the 5 Ambassadors will sponsor 5 changemakers who were invited by someone else (who may need less support) = 25

Seeds rewards

  • Changemakers are rewarded 1000 Seeds for becoming Citizens, with 100 advanced with the invitation to become a Visitor, 200 advanced to become a Resident, with the balance of 700 rewarded upon becoming a Citizen.
  • 750 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 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 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 Citizens. The facilitators of the program are graduates of the 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.
