Blockchain is an emerging technology evolving at a rapid pace, and there are a lot of job opportunities for software engineers in this field. You have made a great choice if have decided to learn the technology.

A great source of information has already been recommended by hugeblack, Open Source Libs is a collection of the best open-source projects. With over 1000 free and open source cryptocurrency code projects, including engines, APIs, generators, and tools, I'm sure you'll find something that interests you. Good luck.

My background is primarily in the PHP programming language, but I'm a relative beginner in Python, and I would also like to get involved in one of the cryptocurrency related projects. Although I am fairly new to the programming side of Bitcoin, I do understand how blockchains work. Does anyone have any recommendations regarding good beginner-level open-source projects for me?

We are in the same country, excuse if I am correct to my understanding about you wanna know here mate, are you asking in what category you want to earn crypto here in this field of business? Because there are a lot of opportunity where you can gain it, and one of this are Mining, Trading, Bounties, or Management in terms of projects. So do you think, in what categories that I had mentioned you like to be involve?

this is a good list of too many crypto projects ---> https://opensourcelibs.com/libs/cryptocurrency

All these open source projects so looking for a problem and tried to find her solution, develop yourself to find the solution and then you'll find you have gained more experience and may have a chance to get a job if the problem you have done good.
Most of the people prefer wallet with good faces, and DEX platforms so try to study these things.
Finally there are some bitcoin projects based on PHP and try to read and develop them.

FYI, there are some cryptocurrency project which use PHP programming language.

You can read the code and learn how it works and gain some experience and also you can look at the issues to see if you can contribute.

Here's an additional tip, some repository have label "Good first issue" which should be suitable for new contributor who're not familiar with the project yet.

If by "beginner-level" you mean someone who doesn't yet understand programming then you should focus on that and learn the language you want before looking for a project.
OTherwise this is mostly a matter of preference to find a project-subject that you like, for example it could be a wallet, a recovery tool, a cryptography library and a lot more.

Electrum is a good place to start though, it is written in python, it is a popular bitcoin wallet and it has a lot of different parts that you can focus on from the wallet protocol to communication over the internet.
