Creative Commons: How to get involved in Creative Commons

Creative Commons is much more than just the licenses.

Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that provides free, legally sound tools for individuals and organizations to share and license their creative works.

All the work that is placed in securing legal stability and sustainablility in the Creative Commons licenses are only possible if users of CC also get involved in the Creative Comons Community.
The CC community work, as they say themselves (found via the full mission statement)  for a "culture [where] we need to address the world's most pressing challenges.."  via creating the ability to share knowledge legally within copyright by giving tools to extend this.
You can find the full mission statement here: https://creativecommons.org/mission/

The Creative Commons community offers many possibilities to either give information about the licenses and their work, as well as offering ways to get involved.

Find the way to get involved that suits you best below.

If you don't want to get directly involved in the many CC-activities, you can choose to make a donation to Creative Commons (or do both of course).
