This seems like what the Mozilla Guides program does. Also what is the need for a module for a Facebook group? We have a lot of initiatives at Mozilla and not a module for everyone. Generally there should be some reasoning behind the need for a module. Are you working with the participation team

To be totally honest it seems disappointing that were still blocked on this. One issue I do see is we haven't defined a Mozillian well and new hires are vouched as Mozillians instantly and new volunteers can be vouched easily. Vouched Mozillians status has kind of been watered down if you compare
