Intern, Outreachy, Virtual
Posted February 27, 2018
Applications for the Outreachy May 2018 to August 2018 internships are now open: https://www.outreachy.org/appl
Outreachy is paid, remote, three month internship program that helps people traditionally underrepresented in tech make their first contributions to Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) communities. Interns are paid a stipend of $5,500 and a travel stipend of $500.
The timeline for this round is:
Feb. 12, 2018 Applicants start making contributions to internship projects
March 22, 2018 Application deadline
April 23, 2018 Accepted interns announced
May 14, 2018 to Aug. 14, 2018 Internships period
Please read through the application instructions and eligibility requirements carefully. The instructions have changed quite a lot since the last Outreachy round.
Applicants will need to complete an eligibility form before they can start working with mentors. Applicants will need to record their in-progress contributions on the Outreachy website. Once one contribution is recorded, applicants can start to work on the final application for the internship project.
We currently have 13 Free and Open Source communities who are ready to take contributions from applicants, and we expect to have about five more join in the next couple of weeks. We’ll send another announcement once we have their landing pages in place.
If you have any questions about eligibility after you fill out your eligibility form, please contact [email protected]. If you can’t get in contact with a mentor or you’re having trouble choosing which project(s) to apply to, you can contact our mentors mailing list at [email protected]
