Yes, Outreachy works fairly similarly to GSoC during the mentorship part. I’ve been mentoring in it over in the Jenkins project the past several months where we’ve also been doing GSoC for a while as well. You can also sometimes get a “free” intern if the Outreachy general fund can afford giving you one; otherwise, each internship position needs directed funding. I’ve written some blog posts about this including one about to be published soon: https://jenkins.io/node/tags/outreachy/
