Help a student get started.
Lead a club, give a talk, write code with us, or give so our fees stay low.
Volunteer with a club
You build software for a living and want to make a difference. We pair you with one of our community code clubs, for a semester of about 16 weeks, two hours a week in the room.
- Our volunteers are professional software developers.
- Use our curriculum library, or make your own.
- We'll help make sure the club has what it needs, from computers to snacks.
- Facilitators help find a location for their club.
Be a Women in Tech speaker
Every club opens with a 30-minute Women in Tech Spotlight. If you're a woman working in technology, tell students what you do and how you got there.
Write code with us
Our open-source libraries run real systems, so a contribution here is a contribution to software people depend on. Volunteers of every level are welcome, and so are students ready for real code.
Get updates
Hear about new clubs, workshops and events. Write to us and we'll add you to the list.
Keep our fees low.
Club fees cover only part of what a club costs. Your support pays for the rest, the computers, supplies and spaces, and keeps fees low for this student and the next.
We know your budget for charity is limited. If our programs have helped you, your family or your community and you'd like to pay it forward, we hope you'll consider a gift to Code Clubs.
CodeClubs.org is a program of Tech Workforce NM, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 82-2865761. Gifts are tax-deductible to the extent the law allows.
Questions
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. Tech Workforce NM is a 501(c)(3) public charity, EIN 82-2865761, so gifts are tax-deductible to the extent the law allows.
Do facilitators need teaching experience?
No. Our volunteers are professional software developers, not teachers, and that's the point: students learn from people who do the work. You need two hours a week for a semester, and you can use our curriculum library or bring your own.
Can I contribute to the software without teaching?
Yes. velocity-python and velocity-react take contributions of code, tests and documentation. Write to us and we'll help you find a first task.
