+Mozilla has participated in the GNOME-OPW program for several years. Originally called GNOME-OPW (GNOME Outreach Program for Women) is now called Outreachy and has a broadened scope. The goals of the program are to increase participation from under-represented groups in free and open source software. Internships are open:
+* internationally to all women (cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people
+* also open in the U.S. to all Black/African American, Hispanic/Latin@, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander people
-The Outreach Program for Women (OPW) helps women (cis and trans) and genderqueer get involved in free and open source software. We provide a supportive community for beginning to contribute any time throughout the year and offer focused internship opportunities twice a year with a number of free software organizations.
