The Growth Team formed in July 2018 to support the Wikimedia Foundation's long-term goal of "Knowledge Equity" through the Audiences department's "New Content" program. The "Knowledge Equity" goal and the "New Content" program are about building strong communities that make diverse knowledge available to people all over the world. One critical pathway toward those goals is through engaging new contributors in Wikimedia projects. But because of the cultural and technical skills needed to productively contribute to the projects, very few people who begin to contribute continue to do so in the days and weeks after their initial involvement. The Growth Team's objective is to address this problem through software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects, starting with Wikipedias.
