Hey Hackers!

Hope you've had a restful recess week! OSS Hackers for Charity (H4C) is recruiting project members to work on two projects in collaboration with charities in Singapore! Both these projects are year-long - giving project teams more than enough time to work on them. Therefore, there will be ample downtime during exam season.

Having the skills desired for your project of preference is not a prerequisite. If you're a highly motivated individual, you will be given ample guidance and resources to develop your skills. Moreover, if you believe you can contribute to any of these projects in the ways not mentioned above, we will be more than happy to have you onboard!

The application closes on 9th October 2022. Sign up now via the link below๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป
