GitHub All In: Our first student cohort and what’s next

GitHub's "All In" initiative is a community-focused effort to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion within the open-source sector, engaging over 1,000 community members and 17 founding partners. The inaugural GitHub All In for Students pilot, aimed at under-resourced students, achieved over 90% internship placement in collaboration with universities and corporate partners like Microsoft, Red Hat, and Intel, providing stipends and technical resources. The All In for Maintainers program is designed to support open-source maintainers with DEI training, informed by a comprehensive Maintainer’s Listening Tour, which identified key areas for improvement such as DEI resources and inclusive practices. As the initiative completes its first year, GitHub plans to expand its impact, inviting more participants to contribute to the ongoing journey of promoting diversity and inclusion in open source.
