Welcome and thank you for your interest in the Scholars and Guides program!

We’re excited to offer this opportunity for individuals new to the Ruby/Ruby on Rails community. Applications are accepted year-round, with specific deadlines for each event, so please be sure to check the details below.

About the Scholars and Guides Program:

This program connects Scholars (mentees) with experienced Guides (mentors) who will provide guidance and advice, especially leading up to and during the conference. Scholars are individuals who are new to Ruby or Ruby on Rails and are looking to build professional connections within the community.

  • Complete a mini-project alongside an assigned Guide.

  • Attend three mandatory meet-ups: Speakers & Scholars Reception, Pre-conference Zoom Meetup, Post-conference Lunchtime Retro (on-site)
