A lot of projects are organized like this so you just have to find which one you want to contribute to.

That is why on huge project they "collect some good first issues".
Sometimes it will concern documentation or it will be reproducing on a specific part of code what was done in another.

You can also check the collabs section on DEV.

But contributing is not only coding, it can be also by reporting bugs, giving features ideas, help in project translation...
