           <p>Software Freedom Conservancy is a nonprofit organization

           cultures.  We are thus the proud home of

           the <a href="https://outreachy.org/">Outreachy initiative</a> that

           offers paid internships in FOSS for contributors who have faced

           systemic bias in their efforts to join the FOSS community.<p>
