Hi, I'm trying to start a new school activity at my high school geared towards contributing to Wikimedia projects and was wondering what support is available? Sincerely, Zubin Jain
Hello Zubin,
Glad to hear your interest in starting an activity around Wikimedia projects at your high school!
We recommend developers looking to contribute code to our projects to start with following our New Developers guide [1]. This guide contains information on how to choose a project, list of beginner-friendly projects and bugs, additional resources, outreach programs, and how to contribute in non-technical areas.
We also have documentation of a workshop [2] we ran for high school students around Wikimedia and Google Code-in, that you might find useful.
If you have a specific request for support from us, feel free to reach out to me personally or come and chat with our team members on IRC at #wikimedia-devrel.
Cheers, Srishti

Do you need some contacts of local expert wikimedians too? It's a mail from Singapore, right? I can show you how to contact them on their user talk pages if you are a total newbie. Some of them you can find listed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedians_in_Singapore https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Singapore
but they might not be updated. Good luck,A.M.
