Volunteer with CodeYourFuture

Together, we can help disadvantaged adults find meaningful work.

We are looking for people with a desire to help, learn and work in a team. For many roles, you don’t need any specific experience.

Join us as a core team member and meet like-minded people, receive training and learn new skills. Core roles require a commitment of at least 3 hours during the week and occasional weekends for 6 months.

If you only have a few hours per month but would still like to volunteer, there are roles in our teams for you too.

Frequently asked questions

There are roles for people who can code at all levels. For some roles, only an understanding of the principles of coding are needed. For others, more advanced knowledge is required. You can learn more about these roles on our Wiki.

We suggest you register as a volunteer, and attend a Welcome event, where you can find out more about volunteering at CodeYourFuture.

If you have worked professionally as a developer in the past or have experience working in what we teach then you can provide valuable mentoring to our students. No professional teaching or mentoring experience nessessary.

We have four volunteer teams and many roles at CodeYourFuture. Some volunteer roles involve a few hours during the week and support for a class on a weekend. For volunteers who have less time, there are roles for support during the week only, or only helping on occasional weekends.

During any week you will be supported by your team members as well as CodeYourFuture staff. We are a supportive community for our volunteers as well as our students!
