Welcome Jenifer!

A good place to start would be one of the [mentor issues](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AZ6-mentor) in Substrate (the blockchain framework used to build Polkadot and other blockchains in the ecosystem)

Looks like the mentioned label is archived & in read only. Any other label to start with? More towards Rust, Htmlcss, Javascript path?

Thanks,  
Jenifer

Substrate has been moved to the `polkadot-sdk` monorepo, which also has mentor labels: [Issues · paritytech/polkadot-sdk · GitHub](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/labels/C1-mentor)

`try-runtime-cli` also has a lot of “good first issue” labelled issues: [Issues · paritytech/try-runtime-cli · GitHub](https://github.com/paritytech/try-runtime-cli/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22)
