Clallam Bay Study Hall Supervisor
ORGANIZATION: Unloop
Please visit the new page to apply.
Live near Clallam Bay, WA? Want to have a tremendous impact on the lives of incarcerated students by opening the computer classroom so they're able to teach themselves to code?
Clallam Bay Corrections Center is home to an incredible education program called TEACH, run entirely by incarcerated community members. One of their programs is Code Camp, and they're looking for a volunteer to come open the classroom and sponsor study hall sessions so students have more time on the computer for coding education.
Some sort of tech or coding experience would be great, but not a requirement. A once/week commitment is preferred, but we can figure out the schedule based on your availability. Please reach out with any questions!

Mission Statement
Unloop enables people who have been in prison to succeed in careers in tech.
Description
More people are incarcerated in the United States than in any other country in the world, with 2.3 million currently behind bars. Over 40% of those released from prison will be re-incarcerated within three years.
Getting a job after release is a major predictor of successful reentry into the community, but most people leaving prison do not have access to living-wage jobs due to lack of in-demand skills and the stigma of a criminal record.
Meanwhile, there is opportunity in the tech industry. There are 223,000 estimated open software developer jobs in the United States.
We believe that given access to a coding education and a network of support, people with records can succeed in the tech industry, break the cycles of incarceration for their families, and become leaders in their communities. We provide intensive web development training in prison-with integrated professional development curriculum-and build a community of supportive employers, educators, and individuals on the outside to create opportunities for our students upon their release.
Our flagship program is a one-year, 550-hour coding bootcamp offered at Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW) and Monroe Correctional Complex (MCC). Our industry-driven curriculum teaches students to be full-stack web developers using client and server-side JavaScript, SQL, and HTML/CSS. Our first cohort graduated in June 2017 and four others are in session.
