I got started by finding some projects that I thought weren't structured correctly. I created a few pull requests to make things right. It was a win-win, because I learned to contribute and the project became clearer because of it.

You can also start a project for yourself and treat it as any other open source project by creating pull requests to it. After a while it won't be a big deal any more and it becomes much easier to contribute to any project you want to.
