The Outreachy May 2026 application window is now open!

We’re excited to welcome new mentoring communities and mentors to the May 2026 cohort. If you’re part of an open source, open science, or non-profit community, this is your chance to support diversity and inclusion in tech through our paid, remote internship program.

Mentors are the heart of Outreachy! 👨‍🏫 👩‍🏫

By mentoring, you’re not just guiding interns, you’re helping build more inclusive and sustainable open communities.

We invite you to:
➡️ Join Outreachy through an existing mentoring project, or
➡️ Submit your community project to participate in the May 2026 cohort.

Learn more and apply via our CFP page: outreachy.org/communities/cfp/

Let’s keep expanding access, opportunity, and representation in open source, together.
