There's no such thing as a specific level where you can help others.
I'll give you an example of how you can contribute to the open source community.
Assume you're starting a JavaScript project, and you're requiring the use of a certain module, say a normalizer which takes an email address and gets rid of all capitalization.
What you can do is access the repo of that project, take a look of how the code is written, then take a look at the issues in that repo. Figure out if you can fix anything, then open a pull request for it.

Get your hands dirty early-on.
