I have been with AWS Community Builders for 2 years. I started in 2022. A lot has changed since I applied.
First of all, there are more and more people in our community, today there are over 3,000 people on Slack.
AWS Community Builders is a cool place that brings together people with more and less experience, including people with the title of AWS HERO or AWS employees.
So as a Community Builder, you'll have the opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals, gain access to exclusive resources, and contribute to the growth of the AWS community.

**The AWS Community Builders program offers much more for example:**

- Access to Exclusive Content: Get insider knowledge and access to cutting-edge AWS technologies through exclusive content and training materials.

- Networking Opportunities: Connect with industry experts, AWS leaders, and fellow Community Builders to expand your professional network.

- Early Access to Features: Be among the first to explore new AWS features and services before they are widely released.

- Community Impact: Share your expertise, contribute to community projects, and make a positive impact in the AWS ecosystem.

- Welcome pack with lots of cool stuff. The package changes every year, so it's hard to say what will happen now. If you want to see what the package included when I started, watch my video on YT.

The program offers much more, but you can read more about the program itself on the website [https://aws.amazon.com/developer/community/community-builders/](https://aws.amazon.com/developer/community/community-builders/). 

There is a video on the website that I had the great pleasure of performing together with other builders. Because in fact, a community is created by everyone, not just one person.
