+## Contributing
+
+We highly encourage learning new technology and processes including contributing to open source software.  We understand that not everyone will have the skill set but we would love to teach you a new skill. Below we have provided instructions to contribute to this private repository.
+
+#### 1. Fork the repository
+
+Forking a repository is a simple two-step process. We've created a repository for you to practice with!
+
+1. On GitHub, navigate to the [HackRegina/website](https://github.com/HackRegina/website) repository.
+2. In the top-right corner of the page, click Fork.
+
+That's it! Now, you have a fork of the original HackRegina/website repository. [Read more on forking here](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/).
+
+#### 2. Make your changes
+
+#### 3. Create a Pull Request
+
+You can open a pull request to the upstream repository from any branch or commit in your fork.
+
+1. Navigate to the original repository you created your fork from.
+2. To the right of the Branch menu, click New pull request.
+3. On the Compare page, click compare across forks.
+4. Confirm that the base fork is the repository you'd like to merge changes into. Use the base branch drop-down menu to select the branch of the upstream repository you'd like to merge changes into.
+5. Drop-down menus for choosing the head fork and compare branch. Use the head fork drop-down menu to select your fork, then use the compare branch drop-down menu to select the branch you made your changes in.
+6. Type a title and description for your pull request.
+7. If you do not want to allow anyone with push access to the upstream repository to make changes to your PR, unselect Allow edits from maintainers.
+8. Click Create pull request.
