Hi HN! ScriptEd (www.scripted.org) is looking for volunteers to teach twice a week from September until June, to students attending under-resourced high schools. This is a great way to give back, volunteer in your community, and network with like-minded individuals. Volunteers teach as part of a four-person team, with support from ScriptEd staff. Apply at bit.ly/ScriptEdVolunteerNYC or bit.ly/ScriptEdSFBAYvolunteer for San Fransisco and Oakland.

#4The last thing the Bay Area needs is more web devs flooding the market. Coding bootcamps have already done enough damage.

If you feel your career is being threatened by high school students, perhaps you should consider "stepping up your game"?

#8Had my first volunteering session today and it was amazing to see the look on the students' faces when we showed them what anyone can do with a browser inspector! Anyone who knows how to code should volunteer and help train the future workforce!

#9Mission Bit is an organization doing this on a local scale in SF: https://www.missionbit.com/. It looks like the main difference is that Mission Bit works directly with SF public schools. Personally, it feels like there is plenty more space for non-profits reaching out to underserved communities.

#10This will be my fifth year volunteering with ScriptEd! There's nothing quite like teaching others to solidify your own understanding, and nothing as rewarding as seeing the light go on when one of my students grasps a concept. I strongly encourage devs to volunteer!
