Last month, YouTube lofted its own network of sorts with the debut of the YouTube community. Now it is going to launch a new program called YouTube Heroes. Hero is a program that is specially designed to acknowledge and reward volunteers’ contributions.
YouTube Heroes is a global community of volunteer contributors to perform a task related to flagging content and on that video, adding captions and subtitles as well. Along with this, all-volunteer will have their own online dashboard to work on, and they can also take part in “Hero hangouts” at times.
To become a volunteer, you have to travel from 5 levels of YouTube Hero. At the first level, you must join the community and access the Heroes dashboard. In the second level, volunteers can take part in Hero hangouts and at the higher levels, they will be able to sneak peek at new products. Not only that, volunteers are empowered to contact YouTube Staff directly, and they earn a point for their work, which figures their “Hero Level.”
The YouTube Heroes program has open for all to get enrolled. Anyone with a valid YouTube channel can enroll in the program; that means the YouTube channel must not be pending, suspended, or inactive at the time of enrollment. YouTube has listed Program Rules in their Help Forum – If you’re interested in becoming a YouTube Hero, you must agree to and comply with the Program Rules.
