Code Platoon is a non-profit coding bootcamp for Veterans. In 14 weeks, our students work incredibly hard to learn how to become professional software developers.
We are seeking a volunteer with a passion for military veterans who can write and edit online content like blogs, advertisements, and emails. This copyeditor role is a great way to serve an awesome cause, and you’ll get to stick to doing what you like because our experienced team will provide you with thorough guidance and backup.
We’re more than glad to work with someone who has the skill to do more than just grind out blogs, but who may not have the prior work experience to prove it. Regardless of whether you’re looking to build your resume or just give back, you’ll be helping a good cause while doing something you love alongside a team that’s fun to work with!
Knowledge of software development and coding a plus, but not a requirement.
