Baja Community Leader App

A Community Leader is a regular homesteader in Baja who has volunteered his or her time online to help their fellow homesteaders. These people show a willingness to donate time, knowledge and experience to help others to create, maintain and troubleshoot problems that they may come across while homesteading in GeoCities.

The requirements to become a Community Leader in Baja are few but are very important. They are listed below.

Applicant must be a resident of Baja for at least 60 days before applying for Community Leader.
