 ## Mentorship Programs
 
-In Gradle, we want to participate in the mentorship programs
-and look for potential mentors and mentees.
-For example, in 2023 we participated in
-Google Summer of Code and sponsored interns in the Major League Hacking program
-(see the [2023 Lunar Year in Review](https://blog.gradle.org/2023-lunar-new-year) post)
+In Gradle, we participate in mentorship programs
+and look for potential mentors and mentees to join us to
+learn together and create something new for Gradle Build Tool or integrations.
 
-To learn more about the programs:
+### Google Summer of Code
+
+[Google Summer of Code (GSoC)](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) is a global,
+online program focused on bringing new contributors into open source software development.
+GSoC Contributors work with an open source organization on a 12+ week programming project
+under the guidance of mentors.
+Gradle has participated in GSoC since 2023.
+
+See [Google Summer of Code](./gsoc/README.md) for more information
+
+### Gradle Mentorship Program
+
+The [Gradle Mentorship program](https://gradle.org/mentorship/)
+links newer software engineers with Gradle Fellows to increase diversity in the Gradle community.
+
+In 2022, we ran the first cohort with 6 mentees participating.
+The program was open to everyone, but we prioritized mentees from underrepresented segments of the developer community, including women, and Black and Hispanic individuals,
+who wanted support and professional development assistance from members of the Gradle Build Tool community.
+Thanks to [Gradle Fellows](https://gradle.org/fellowship/) for mentoring!
+
+We consider continuing this program in the future.
+
+### Ad-hoc Mentorship
+
+Even if there are no active mentorship programs in Gradle Build Tool,
+we might be able to host something in the community for a particular initiative.
+If you are a maintainer or an active contributor interested in doing mentorship,
+reach out to us on the `#contributing` channel.
+
+## Other Events
+
+### Hacktoberfest
+
+[Hacktoberfest](https://hacktoberfest.com/) is a month-long celebration of open-source projects, their maintainers, and the entire community of contributors.
+We plan to participate as an organization in October 2024.
+Many component maintainers from the Gradle ecosystem, e.g. the
+[Gradle plugin for Jenkins](https://plugins.jenkins.io/gradle),
+already include their projects in Hacktoberfest.
