It is great that you want to contribute to FreedomBox as a part of Outreachy. I think for now a possibility would be to propose "Install FreedomBox in a Container", which is listed as a GSoC project this year with confirmed mentors Sunil Mohan Adapa, Dashamir Hoxha. Looking at the timeline perspective you can also work on some of the critical issues on Plinth https://salsa.debian.org/freedombox-team/plinth as part of your Outreachy project.Also as the deadline for a project to be listed under Outreachy is March - 8 (Today). I doubt this would be possible in such a short span.
Also, I can mentor you on this project as I have experience with Containers in my previous GSoC with FOSSASIA, and an experience mentoring students as a Code-In mentor but I am not sure if I qualify as a mentor as I was not actively involved in the community for the past one year. Also as I am not involved with the administration of the project, someone else has to get FreedomBox listed as an outreachy project under debian. Nevertheless if listing the project under Outreachy is not possible, you can still apply for the same through GSoC. In the meantime you can explore FreedomBox and look at some beginner issues at the issue tracker to get familiarized with the project.
