Outreachy
Mozilla has participated in the Outreachy program for several years. The goals of the program are to increase participation from under-represented groups in free and open source software. Participation is 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
We provide a supportive community for beginning to contribute any time throughout the year and offer three month paid contribution opportunities twice a year.

Application Process
Applicants and mentors, please review the Outreachy Eligibility and Application Information page to learn more about applying for Outreachy.
First steps for applicants to Mozilla:
- Set up IRC.
- Set up a Bugzilla account and a Mozillians profile. Please include your IRC nickname in both of these accounts so mentors can work with you more easily. For example, Eve Smith would set their Bugzilla name to "Eve Smith (:esmith)", where esmith is their IRC nick.
- Please look at the projects below, consider your options, and chat with Mozilla mentors on IRC. You need to make a small contribution to the area you wish to apply for.
- To chat with Mozilla mentors, join the #outreachy channel on irc.mozilla.org.
- To ask general questions about Outreachy or the application process, you can also try #outreachy IRC channel on irc.gnome.org.
