How It Works

From application to published contributor in 5 steps.

Apply

Fill out our application form with your background, the countries you know, and which guides interest you. It takes about 10 minutes.

Review

We review your application within a few days. We're looking for lived experience, clear writing, and a genuine interest in helping newcomers.

Onboard

If accepted, we'll walk you through the project structure, our style guide, and the tools we use (Markdown + GitHub). No prior Git experience required — we'll help you get set up.

Contribute

Pick up sections to write or review. Work at your own pace, asynchronously. Get feedback from the editorial team and refine your contributions.

Get credited

Your name goes on every guide you contribute to. Build a portfolio of published work that you can share publicly.
