+# Mentor someone from a marginalized community
+
+Either participate or create a mentorship program dedicated to marginalized folks.
+
+This action can help overcome the following barriers: 
+
+```{tags} power imbalance, language, accessibility
+```
+
+## Recommendations
+
+To start with, it is easier to participate in an existing mentorship program
+to maximize the chances of both mentees and mentors enjoying the experience.
+One such choice is [Outreachy](https://www.outreachy.org/) which only accepts mentees from
+marginalized communities; alternatively, your organization could internally
+enforce affirmative action while participating on a generalist mentorship program.
+
+## Success application examples
+
+PyMC having mentees from marginalized communities (from both Outreachy and Google Summer of Code programs)
+acted as a catalyst for the collaboration between PyMC and [Data Umbrella](https://www.dataumbrella.org).
+Through this collaboration, [many resources](https://www.dataumbrella.org/open-source/contributing-to-pymc) on contributing to PyMC were generated in different formats and languages, multiple sprints and webinars were organized and a few people who joined through these events continued involved with the project after they finished. The [Data Umbrella blog](https://blog.dataumbrella.org/tags/#pymc) has more details on all the events.

 Most EDIA initiatives begin with unpaid volunteer work; strategies should be sought to take care of those who want to lead these spaces so that they are sustainable over time. Geopolitical changes can lead to a decline in participation, which can lead to the abandonment or closure of initiatives, so it is important to ensure that leadership is not solitary and promotes rest and self-care. 
 
-Contributing to and maintaining an open source project or community presents many challenges, described alongside this one, with many of them being systemic issues. This means that we are often working against the system, and consequently we can also struggle to find allies (both within and outside the projects/communities). Volunteers in general, of which open source contributors are generally a subset, are particularly prone to mental health issues like burnout [TODO: link to unconf online project about OSS mental health]. For example, you do not find allies to join or support you and after a time, you cannot fight the fight anymore
