+weight: 1
+description: >
+  Information about the Kubernetes New Contributor Orientation meetings,
+  designed to help prospective contributors find their way in the community.
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+The Kubernetes New Contributor Orientation (NCO) meetings are an initiative owned by the mentoring subproject of [SIG-ContribEx](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/main/sig-contributor-experience). Started in September of 2024, the purpose of these meetings is to orient prospective new contributors to the community by providing an overview of what Kubernetes does as a technology, how the community is structured and how it functions, and how they might fit into the community as "contributors." There is no hands-on content included in the New Contributor Orientation meeting.
+
+Anyone is welcome to attend the Kubernetes New Contributor Orientation.
+
+Anyone with [org membership](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/community-membership.md#member) and an interest in helping new contributors is encouraged to participate in the meeting as a host or lead. "Hosts" are active contributor participants who help answer questions from their unique perspectives during the Q&A segment of the meeting. A "Lead" is a contributor who takes on the responsibility of organizing and running the meeting, generally including giving the presentation. Check out the [NCO Host handbook](/docs/orientation/nco-host-handbook) for guidance on acting as a host during the meeting, and check out the [NCO Lead Handbook](/docs/orientation/nco-lead-handbook) for more details on how to lead an NCO meeting.
+
+## Meetings
+
+NCO Meetings are held in *two sessions* on the *third Tuesday of every month*.
