I founded a community called #! 20 years ago where anyone can show up and start hacking on community projects and get some mentorship.

We sometimes put bounties on things we wish to see done for the community, but in general we are a non-profit digital hackerspace and do not pay ourselves or anyone else. We encourage anyone that contributes that is unemployed to put it on their resume and we are happy to be referrals for them.

Helped a ton of people get jobs in tech over the years.
