Volunteers needed to teach web development in Oakland

68 points by BeccaScriptEd ↗ HN
Hi HN! ScriptEd (www.scripted.org) is looking for volunteers to teach web development twice a week after school in Oakland this coming school year, to students attending under resourced high schools. This is a great way to give back, volunteer in your community, also it is a ton of fun. Volunteers teach as part of a four person team, with support from ScriptEd staff. Apply at bit.ly/ScriptEdSFBAYvolunteer .

Teach web development and get robbed at gunpoint!

Any ability for me to mentor remotely?

Where are you based? We also run programs on the east coast.

Beyond New York? I could see doing something like this, but live in Washington, DC.

Currently just NYC and the Bay Area. Please do sign up for our mailing list, and we can keep in touch.

Great program, happy to see it expand to Oakland!

I volunteered with ScriptEd in NYC and now in the Bay Area. They are probably one of the most thoughtful, organized, and fun non-profits I've ever worked with. And most importantly the kids have gone on to do some amazing things!

ScriptEd is a great and effective way to do something good for your soul! I volunteer in NYC and it's great to see the students empowered with coding skills! This is great for Oakland

I would love to volunteer but I work in the south bay so it would be very difficult for me to attend the after school sessions.

Is their any other way I can contribute or help out?
