The Outreachy Contribution Period#

The Contribution Period is a month before internships begin where Outreachy applicants contribute to participating projects in order to learn more about them and decide whether they want to submit their final application to that project. It also provides mentors with examples of the applicants’ work in order to assess whether they would be able to complete the project as is, or whether it would need to be rescoped in order to achieve either more or less challenging goals.

These sections contain information on activities related to preparing for and managing the Contribution Period.
