April flew by as we worked on reviewing intern selections for the May 2024 round. It always feels like the longest stretch during the Outreachy cycle because there’s so much to go through. But teamwork makes the dream work, right? We have a solid team here, and we each play to our strengths to make the review process smoother.
Exciting news! We published our very first mentor spotlight blog post, and it was a hit! The Outreachy received it so well, and our mentors are already making recommendations for more co-mentors to feature. You can read the blog post here:

As part of our ongoing initiative to have more documentation for mentors, we’re working on adding blog posts written by our mentors about their experiences participating in Outreachy. These blog posts offer firsthand insights, tips, and experiences from mentors, serving as valuable resources for both new and existing mentors. Here are the links to the blog posts:
