The AWS Community Builders program offers technical resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities to AWS enthusiasts and emerging thought leaders who are passionate about sharing knowledge and connecting with the technical community.

My Experience:
I was previously unaware of this program. I saw a tweet on Twitter one day and decided to apply for it. I’ve been working with Cloud Computing for around 6–7 months. At the time, I was studying for the Cloud Practitioner exam. So, to share my knowledge, I used to publish articles on Medium or Dev, which I believe helped me a lot in getting accepted into this programme.
After being chosen, I was invited to the Slack channel, where we, the builders, receive notifications for any current events, and we were given an onboarding meeting where we were given an overview of the community. This curriculum has greatly aided me in forming positive relationships.
One more thing I would like to appreciate the work of Jasondun, he is our community builder program manager and nobody can do this job better than him. He replies to every query, dms. There are thousands of people in this community and he manages them really well.
That’s all about the program.
