Volunteers can support

program participants

throughout their

four-week training in a

range of activities

including (but not

limited to):

○ 30-sec elevator

pitches

○ Resume reviewing

○ Mock interviewing

○ LinkedIn profiles

○ Confidence building

exercises

Group volunteering is

strongly welcomed!

This is where a team of

up to 12 may come in

for one day (or more!)

and help facilitate a

class.

Activities can include,

any of the

aforementioned

individual volunteering

activities.

Our participants get

enormous value from

seeing what it’s like in a

tech workplace.

Tech visits can be more

than just a tour! We find

that visits are most

valuable when

combined with other

ways to get to know a

company’s team — e.g.

career panel, Q&A, or

networking lunch.

For those looking to

share their photography

skills, our participants

are looking to set their

career search off on

strong footing. But often

times they lack a

professional headshot.

A mentor provides

one-on-one support, as

needed, to a program

participant.

Discussions between

mentors and mentees

can cover a variety of

topics, ranging from

career advice and skill

building to social,

emotional, or

interpersonal

challenges.

* Cohorts for the Job Readiness Program are 4 weeks long.

Volunteer Opportunities — Code Ramp/Code Ramp++

Requires Evening or Weekend Availability. All classes are held remotely until further notice.

_______________________________________ During class time ______________________________________ _____ Outside of class time _____

Instructor

1 night/week

Teaching Assistant

1 night/week

Mentor

~2-4 hrs/week

Tutor

~1-2 hrs/week

Code Ramp instructors are in

charge of presenting or

reinforcing new concepts and

supporting students in building

their understanding of

previously introduced topics.

In addition to direct student

interaction, you’ll be working

with the rest of the teaching

team to decide how to best

support students on their

learning path.

Teaching assistants help guide

students during their coding

exercises, which typically make

up at least 2⁄3 of class time. In

addition to providing help to

students when stuck on a

coding challenge, TAs are

providing reviews and tips to

improve code quality.

TAs also provide valuable

insight and input along with the

instructors to determine how

to best support students.

Mentors play a huge role in

guiding students who are more

advanced in their coding

studies, helping them refine

their skills and prepare for the

workforce.

This role supports students

who have completed the initial

6-week program and show a

dedicated interest in

programming as a career path.

Tutoring is a great fit for

volunteers who are more

interested in 1:1 interaction

and building a relationship

with a student, or for those

who cannot volunteer during

the classroom hours.

We pair students 1:1 with a

tutor if they need help catching

up on a lesson they missed or

reviewing a topic they feel

behind on.

* Cohorts for Code Ramp and Code Ramp++ are 6 weeks long.
