Step 2: Discover projects

Carefully review the LF Networking mentorship projects that are open for applications in 2023 and identify which project(s) you're interested in.

Each applicant may apply for multiple but no more than THREE projects. We recommend you focus your effort on 2 projects and submit a quality application for those two projects.  Applicants may only participate in 1 Linux Foundation Internship.  If you are accepted for an Internship, please make sure to withdraw your application from all other Linux Foundation mentorship proposals.

Step 3: Prepare application materials

Remember, your cover letter should demonstrate not only that you're qualified but also and passionate about becoming active contributors and future leaders in the LF Networking open source communities through this experience.

Feel free to contact the mentor(s) for the projects you are interested in to learn more and clarify any unclear information that's unclear to you.

  • You may be able to discover more about the desirable background and skills of the mentee the mentor(s) are looking to work with.
  • We have learned that the best applications are often from students who took the time to interact and discuss their ideas with the mentors before submitting an application.
  • But be thoughtful with your questions, as our mentors may receive many questions from interested applicants.
  • Once you are ready, email all of your application materials to your mentors and CC Casey Cain at mentorship@lfnetworking.org 
  • Due to the volume of applications, you may not receive a reply until the application period ends. Please be patient and review the program timeline.
