I've been volunteering with ScriptEd for 4 years. Watching students' eyes light up as they start to understand how HTML, JS and CSS work is amazing. Also, the staff and volunteers are some of the smartest, coolest people you will ever meet. You should volunteer too!

This organization really knows what they are doing. They provide extensive training for mentors, who have to teach how to code---very difficult to do without practice!
