Mentees

Become an LFX Mentorship mentee, apply to a program, and find mentees in the public directory.

A mentee is a contributor taking part in a program for one term. Mentees do scoped work from the project's backlog and review it with a named mentor.

What you can do

  • Create a mentee profile and apply to up to three programs at a time
  • Track your applications and complete the tasks a program sets
  • Browse the public mentee directory and read mentee profiles

Eligibility

  • You are 18 or older, or will be by the time the program starts.
  • You are eligible to work in the country you live in for the duration of the mentorship.
  • You can commit consistent hours for the full term.
  • You may have up to 3 open applications at a time.
  • You may only complete one LFX Mentorship program in your career.

Where things happen

Browsing the mentee directory happens here. Everything else — your profile, your applications and your tasks — happens in LFX, the Linux Foundation's software platform, at app.lfx.dev/mentorship/mentee.
