Why volunteer with CoderDojo?

Our Dojo benefits from having a group of volunteers who bring a wide range of experiences.

Team building, youth work, and mentoring are all skills you can expect to learn as a Dojo volunteer.

Our volunteers feel that being involved with their Dojo is a great way to give back to their local community, while also getting the opportunity to meet people who share their passions. Many people also join CoderDojo to be part of a global network and community with values they admire.

Read what people in the CoderDojo community say about volunteering:

Doña, Washington

“I believe in what I do and know it’s of intrinsic value to our community and society at large.

CoderDojo has contributed to my own knowledge, skill set, and growth in that arena.

It has also helped me personally, since speaking and presenting regularly in front of groups or crowds are challenging as an introvert.”

Ekaterina, Bulgaria

“I see [the young people] do things on their own, getting their ideas out there, and seeing creativity spur out of the moment.

It really gives me so much enjoyment.”

Nikole, Texas

“Our CoderDojo is making a real difference in the lives of those involved — beyond giving them a chance to improve their coding skills. Girls are seeing what they can do in the tech world; families are bonding over their shared understanding of coding; children are getting a chance to see a college campus and be inspired by its possibilities; and mentors have even received promotions at their day jobs.”
