OneWebDay was founded in 2006 as an all volunteer campaign to build an active community of Internet advocates in the United States and around the world. Originally imagined as a celebration of the World Wide Web – the services and content the Internet carries – OneWebDay has grown into a movement of organizations, citizens and consumers who are committed to universal and equal access to the Internet. Now in its fourth year, OneWebDay has a full-time Executive Director, powerful new partners and is planning events in 50 cities across the globe in 2009.

OneWebDay takes place annually on September 22, marked by a variety of activities, with a new theme each year. The 2009 theme is “One Web. For All” and focuses on volunteer service and expanding opportunity. Recognizing that OneWebDay technology volunteers, and the communities they wish to reach, can best be served on weekends and evenings, OneWebDay is coordinating with Mozilla Service Week (September 14-21) to provide more volunteer opportunities.
