Developer Circles is a free program from Facebook that helps bring together local developers to collaborate and learn. Local groups, called Circles, host meetups and workshops covering topics like Open Source technologies, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data science. There are Circles in cities around the world and they’re open to anyone with an interest in coding, regardless of your experience level.
The Developer Circles team knows the power of hands-on experience, especially with Open Source technologies. They want to create more opportunities for people in their community to gain that experience. That’s why they’ll be supporting two pods to participate in the MLH Fellowship this summer.

Since Developer Circles is a global program, this DevC-sponsored program does not have the same country requirements as normal MLH Fellowship applicants. Any active member of the Facebook Developer Circles community with a bank account from an established financial institution that can receive stipend payments from GitHub Sponsors or another approved payment partner is welcome to apply. When possible, they will use GitHub Sponsors as the preferred payment platform. If the fellow resides in a country where GitHub Sponsors is not available, an alternative payment platform may be used.
The MLH Fellowship is a remote internship for student technologists. Fellows will have the opportunity to build their professional network, learn real-world engineering skills, and add a recognizable and high impact open source project to their resume while having a ton of fun with their teammates. MLH will be able to pay each Fellow a stipend for their contributions via the GitHub Sponsors payment platform.
Job Description
The MLH Fellowship is an internship alternative for software engineers. Instead of working on a project for just one company, you’ll contribute to Open Source projects that are used by companies around the world. You’ll collaborate with a group of 10 students under the guidance of a professional mentor whose only job is to help you successfully contribute.
The Developer Circles team knows the power of hands-on experience, especially with Open Source technologies. They want to create more opportunities for people in their community to gain that experience. That’s why they’ll be supporting two pods to participate in the MLH Fellowship this summer.
