Read a little bit about Creative Commons and what we do. We're not simply an open source software project like many other Outreachy mentorship organization – we're a nonprofit organization and we do a lot of different things. Some of the projects we are mentoring are not software related at all (although some are quite technical). Feel free to ask us questions about what we do, our various programs, our licenses, and so on. There is a lot about us out there. You'll need to know a lot about us in order to help us effectively, especially if you're looking to contribute to projects like the FAQ or the Platform Toolkit.

Once you're ready to get started, contribute to one of our projects. Once you have a couple of contributions down, you can start working on your final application. Feel free to reach out to mentors any time to ask questions about contributions or your application. It is especially important to get feedback on your application from mentors before submitting it.

Please read the *Project Contribution Information* section on the project description on [the Outreachy site](https://www.outreachy.org/december-2019-to-march-2020-internship-round/communities/creative-commons/) for contribution guidelines specific to your project.

If you're contributing to a more technical project, please read our [Contributing Code](/contributing-code) page. Keep in mind that you can record any contribution to any Creative Commons project as an Outreachy contribution – it does not have to be to the same repository as the project you're applying to. You can record contributions even if you have not yet received feedback on them or if they have not been merged – our mentors are busy so we can be slow to provide feedback.

### Final Application
24+
25+
Your final application is very important to us. This is what we will use to determine how well you understand the project and how likely you are to successfully complete it. A detailed project timeline and plan is very important and you should get feedback on this with your mentors ahead of time. We suggest sending your plan to complete the project to mentors via Google Doc ahead of time (and giving your mentors comment permissions) of your final application so that they can give you feedback.

### Contacting Mentors

All the CC Outreachy mentors are on [Slack](/community). **Please use public channels on Slack as the primary method of communication.** Public channels are better than direct messages because it allows any available mentor (or even another applicant) to answer your questions and interact with you. It also allows other applicants who have the same questions to benefit from the answers the mentor is giving you.
