For Season 2, we’re getting tangible on *[Good Growth](https://protein.mirror.xyz/iEKJT-ZdPmmz0DubFc4SZVAb8i5ysekvNj-ltArgqeU?ref=protein.xyz)* by providing funding, support, and expertise for pilot projects submitted by our own wonderful members.To align our collective resources to improve our impact potential, the PRTN Community have [just voted](https://snapshot.org/?ref=protein.xyz#/proteincommunity.eth/proposal/0xa66b633313d23308aa36a7b68ccc711e17eeaa49754cbac08a8c91a2387db4a2) on our first mission:

## **“To bring underrepresented groups into the new economy.”**

Out of the 34 submitted, there are [18 pilot projects](https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVORsNkEc=/?ref=protein.xyz) in this cluster that are using web3 tools to engage with communities that the system neglected, or making it easier for communities from beyond the anglosphere to benefit from the tools and technologies of Web3\. The projects include various BIPOC creator communities, organizations working with youth from underserved groups, and projects looking to either showcase and promote diverse cultures, provide translation services for them, or connect them to share strategies to sustainably manage their heritage sites. Next week, our members will be voting on which of these 18 will make the final selection.

In other news, we published our [100 Days a DAO](https://protein.mirror.xyz/rPGE4UdI0KMIY0R6co6VgCCQ%5F7l8MBzeA64X8h5FQ5o?ref=protein.xyz) piece, did our first [Twitter Space](https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1kvKpApVOqbGE?s=20&t=sWhkNUsjxHu4OwMO9-nteA&ref=protein.xyz), and we’re a guest on the [Seed Club Podcast](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dTW67juEfw&ab%5Fchannel=Club&ref=protein.xyz).
