@TwitterOSS is a proud participant of the Free and Open Source Outreach Program for Women, which runs two editions every year. In this program we connect women with open source projects and mentors in a three-month, full-time internship.

@TwitterOSS is also participating in Google Summer of Code. If you are a student, we encourage you to apply to both programs with the same project proposal:
