+title: "GSOC 2025: Call for contributors"
+---
+
+We are thrilled to announce that the Scala Center organization has been accepted for [Google Summer of Code 2025](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/)!
+This marks the 15th year that Scala is a part of this awesome program, empowering beginner contributors to dive into the world of Scala open source projects.
+
+Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is an annual program by Google that encourages beginner contributors to participate in open source software development.
+Through GSoC, contributors receive mentorship from experienced maintainers while earning a stipend for their work on open source projects during the summer.
+
+This year, we are offering a diverse range of project ideas across the Scala ecosystem, spanning various domains including web development, graphics, build tooling, GPU programming, and more.
+Explore our [list of projects](https://github.com/scalacenter/GoogleSummerOfCode) to discover more exciting ideas.
+
+We encourage new Scala programmers with a passion for open source to apply!
+No matter your background, GSoC is a fantastic opportunity to gain real-world experience, learn from expert mentors, and make meaningful contributions to the Scala ecosystem.
+
+## Call for new contributors
+
+We are currently at the beginning of the admissions process for contributors. Until March 18th, you can:
+
+- Browse our [list of project ideas](https://github.com/scalacenter/GoogleSummerOfCode).
+- Reach out to project mentors via email to introduce yourself and discuss your interests.
+- Ask questions about the project and get feedback to build a strong proposal.
+
+The best way to engage with mentors is to send a short email, introducing yourself, your background, and your interest in the project.
+Our mentors will be happy to guide you from there!
+
+For more information, check out the [GSoC timeline](https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline) and [Contributor Guide](https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/).
+
+Please note that GSoC is not a freelance job — it is a learning opportunity designed to give a chance to people who would otherwise not have it.
+We aim to select contributors based on both their potential for growth and their project fit.
+
+Additionally, we are excited to share that Typelevel is also participating in GSoC 2025.
+Check out [Typelevel's blog post](https://typelevel.org/blog/2025/02/27/gsoc.html) for more Scala project ideas and opportunities to get involved.
+
+We look forward to welcoming you to the Scala community and helping you embark on your open source journey!
