CODE OUT INC

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.
