Volunteer positions! Do you have a passion for helping disadvantaged youth and possess coding expertise? If so, we are looking for enthusiastic, patient, and tech savvy volunteer to lead an Apple iPad coding program for youth.

The program could be a one off or an ongoing series.

We are open on the app/program, so long as the coding class uses an iPad for instruction.

We are also open to teens holding the program (at least 15 years of age). Volunteers age 18 years and older would require fingerprinting (done at the city's expense).
Some of the suggested programs include the following:
