Outreachy seems like a great program but like most things, it requires significant time and money (https://www.outreachy.org/mentor/).
They need an organization coordinator who can apply, find funds ($6500/intern), find mentors, help develop and assess projects. They also need mentors who are expected to spend 5-10 hrs/week for 6 weeks during the project. I'm not aware of anyone with the time or money to commit to an effort like this for Clojure.
