Potential mentors and open source or open science communities - please read on! *Call for mentoring organizations* Outreachy is seeking open source communities to mentor interns for our December 2026 cohort! The call for Outreachy mentoring organizations is finally open!

Deadline for mentors to submit project descriptions What is Outreachy? -- Outreachy is a paid, remote internship program. Outreachy promotes diversity in open source and open science. Our internships are for people who face under-representation, and discrimination or systemic bias in the technology industry of their country. Open source communities can apply to be an Outreachy mentoring organization here: https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/ Schedule -- September 11, 2026 at 4pm UTC ? Last day for mentoring organizations to sign up September 11, 2026 at 4pm UTC ? Last day for mentors to submit projects October 5, 2026 ? Contribution period begins November 2, 2026 ? Contribution period ends December 7, 2026 to March 8, 2027 ? Internship period Internship funding -- Due to our financial situation, Outreachy cannot fund internships out of our reserve this round. In order to run our program in the most basic way, Outreachy needs to receive donations of at least $8,000 to $10,000 USD per intern we accept. This breaks down to: ? ? $7,000 USD donation towards the Outreachy internship stipend ? ? $1,000 to $3,000 USD donation towards the Outreachy program activities fund, which covers some of the basic costs of running the Outreachy program, including all banking and other fees, and without which we couldn't run the internship program at all. We ask that communities contribute beyond the minimum when possible, to ensure Outreachy can continue running. Please also connect us with potential sponsors or donors: https://www.outreachy.org/sponsor/ Help us find Outreachy donors! === Outreachy is still seeing the impact of a dramatic reduction in sponsorships to both diversity and open source programs. We really need funding beyond internships to keep this program going. Please let us know if there are any opportunities you are aware of for funding our program. Thank you for your continued support! -- Outreachy Organizers -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
