CRB seeks a Youth Coding Camp Assistant who can help CRB staff develop fun games and activities for our upcoming Youth Coding Camp. As the number of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Math) and STEM related jobs increase, especially in the Puget Sound region, it is vitally important to provide opportunities for our youth to gain technology skills but also learn about and engage with technology driven professions. With the help of the Youth Coding Camp Assistant, we hope to inspire newly arrived refugee and immigrant youth to pursue a career in STEM related fields.
Responsibilities:
- Consult with CRB Youth Program Staff on engaging and creative ideas for curriculum
- Cultivate a positive classroom culture.
- Model active participation and professionalism when interacting with students.
- Promote respect and teamwork to ensure all students are working collaboratively.
- Provide feedback to Youth Program Manager and/or Youth Program Coordinator on individual student progress and/or struggles on a consistent basis.
Time Commitment
Initial commitment would include 10 or more hours to consult with CRB Youth Program Staff on engaging and creative ideas for CRB’s week-long coding camp, as well as shedding insight into what coding language or software we should highlight that has the highest demand in the technology industry.
Additionally, the Coding Camp sessions will be held at Rainier Beach High School at the following dates and times:
- Mon. October 10 - 4 PM to 6 PM
- Tues. October 11 - 4 PM to 6 PM
- Mon. October 17 - 4 PM to 6 PM

Mission Statement
Communities of Rooted Brilliance (CRB) partners with newcomer communities and helps them thrive through educational opportunities and social support services, while also honoring their traditional customs..
Description
We began in 2009, then known as the Coalition for Refugees from Burma. Our work at that time centered around helping refugees from Burma survive the trauma of resettlement from a jungle war zone or detention camp to an extremely dissimilar urban culture.
Over time, we found that our work was deeply needed within many newcomer communities, so our mission adapted and we changed our name to Communities of Rooted Brilliance to better reflect our partnerships.
CRB helps newcomer communities heal, grow, and thrive through our early learning, youth engagement, and family support programs. Our work is centered around three foundational concepts.
- The families we serve are partners in our work, and we continually seek out their knowledge and wisdom on the services we offer.
- Our programs are always education-based because we believe that education is the way to a healthier and happier future.
- We honor and recognize that dedicated leadership exists within each community, and we partner with these leaders to serve their communities in culturally responsive ways.
Since 2009, we have proudly partnered with about 500 South King County residents annually. Today, we continue to provide programming to engage the whole family, from pre-kindergarten to adulthood.
