Since 2010, the team behind the Wiki Education Foundation has been supporting university students in the United States and Canada as they edit Wikipedia.

Wiki Education's program participants are more diverse than the existing editor population in the United States, they're editing content across diverse topics, and — since we bring in 19% of all English Wikipedia's new active editors — we're doing it at a scale to have a real effect on knowledge equity.

If you're interested in learning how an organization can promote knowledge equity in the largest Wikimedia project, at scale, this session is for you!
