Code/Out is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to breaking the cycle of recidivism and generational poverty for the women in Georgia’s prison system. In order for us to continue to support these girls in building a future for themselves in STEM, we need dedicated and passionate volunteers during our classes!
Class volunteers are expected to "host" class which does entail going through state-mandated background checks and training but once through that, the process is fairly simple. Hosts/Volunteers set up and take down the class technology each day, develop relationships with the women and girls in our classes, and ensure that all technology is put away, locked, and stored properly. Knowing the languages that we're teaching or understanding computer programming isn't necessary for being a volunteer in the facility.

Mission Statement

Description
Code/Out is a non-profit organization dedicated to breaking the cycle of recidivism and generational poverty for the women in Georgia’s prison system. Through education and opportunity in the technology space we are going to teach women how to code. This will enable them with the skills and confidence to re-enter the technology workforce throughout Georgia. With corporate partnerships we are building a network of employers eager to integrate these determined women into their ranks. As the demand increases, so will the wages.
We hope to create a community in Atlanta within the tech field that is more synonymous with the actual population. In doing so, we seek to change the education possibilities for women with felonies, reduce the rates of recidivism and decrease the chances of their children being lost to the prison industrial complex.
