Hello,
Let's presume you want to contribute as a developer. Start by forking the GitHub repository and then make some contribution by improving the documentation or addressing a bug report. Solve the problem and then make a pull request.
Build a relationship with the coin's community on the bitcointalk thread and keep a presence on their IRC channel. Try to develop your skills and understanding, enabling you to help the community address the various problems which appear over time.
You might find some communities have a "Don't Call Us - We'll Call You" mentality whereas others are very welcoming.
Doing work as a coin developer takes a lot of time, involves a lot of testing and quite a bit of reading and understanding in addition to various computing resources. Don't expect to be able to be a significant independent contributor overnight.
At the same time, don't give yourself away freely. A friend of mine once told me, "If you're good at something, never do it for free."
The easy answer to your question is by way of a shortcut. Find a mentor willing to help develop your skills as an apprentice. There are probably infinity developers who would like to have someone test their code before release and to help them with other necessities.
Best Regards, -Chicago
