Wikimedia's technical community participates in several outreach programs. This helps new contributors join Wikimedia technical projects, it spreads knowledge about the movement to bigger and more diverse audiences, and it gives contributors an opportunity to mentor newcomers.

• Information for Participants

Outreachy

• Vision: provides internships to people subject to systemic bias and impacted by underrepresentation in the technical industry.
• Approach: funded by Outreachy, mentored by FOSS members. Twice a year.
