+### I am interested in being a moderator at freeCodeCamp. Where should I start?
+
+Our community moderators are our heroes. Their voluntary contributions make
+freeCodeCamp a safe and welcoming community.
+
+First and foremost, we would need you to be an active participant in the
+community, and live by our [code of conduct](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/code-of-conduct/)
+(not just enforce it).
+
+Here are some recommended paths for some of our platforms:
+
+- To be a **Discord/Chat** moderator, have an active presence in our chat and
+  have positive engagements with others, while also learning and practicing how
+  to deal with potential conflicts that may arise.
+- To be a **Forum** moderator, similar to a chat moderator, have an active
+  presence and engage with other forum posters, supporting others in their
+  learning journey, and even given feedback when asked. Take a look at
+  [The Subforum Leader Handbook](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/the-subforum-leader-handbook/326326)
+  for more information.
+- To be a **GitHub** moderator, help process GitHub issues that are brought up
+  to see if they are valid and (ideally) try to propose solutions for these
+  issues to be picked up by others (or yourself).
+
+Altogether, be respectful to others. We are humans all around the world. With
+that in mind, please also consider using encouraging or supportive language and
+be mindful of cross-cultural communication.
+
+If you practice the above **consistently for a while** and our fellow moderator
+members recommend you, a staff member will reach out and onboard you to the
+moderators' team. Open source work is voluntary work and our time is limited.
+We acknowledge that this is probably true in your case as well. So we emphasize
+being **consistent** rather than engaging in the community 24/7.
+
+Take a look at our [Moderator Handbook](https://contribute.freecodecamp.org/#/moderator-handbook)
+for a more exhaustive list of other responsibilities and expectations we have
+of our moderators.
