2025 OpenMedia Board Member Application
OpenMedia is looking for new board members who are passionate about the open Internet. OpenMedia is a community-driven organization that safeguards the possibilities of the open Internet. There has never been a more crucial need to unite the voices of Internet users worldwide to build a community with one overarching goal: protect and nourish access, free expression, and privacy online.

OpenMedia has one of the largest community of digital rights supporters in the world. Will you join us in defending their rights?

The OpenMedia board is largely a governing board responsible for helping the organization reach its primary goals of citizen engagement and empowerment. During 2025-26, the board may have periods of being a working board. The board takes on leadership responsibilities for the organization.
