< May to August internships again this year.
At this stage we are looking for mentors and project ideas from the Perl and Raku community. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please read the [Mentor description](https://www.outreachy.org/mentor/#mentor) and contact me at makoto@perlfoundation.org. Note that mentors are expected to spend 5-10 hours per week during the program period.
Outreachy, formerly The Outreach Program for Women, was started by the GNOME Foundation in 2006 to encourage women to participate in the GNOME project. Since inception the project has grown to include many Free and Open Source organisations, including The Perl and Raku Foundation, and now the program has been rebranded and extended to encourage the participation of other underrepresented groups.
For the internship, Outreachy expressly invites women (both cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people to apply. We also expressly invite applications from residents and nationals of the United States of any gender who are Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American/American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander. Anyone who faces under-representation, and systemic bias or discrimination in the technology industry of their country is invited to apply.
