Volunteer at a Dojo
There are lots of ways for volunteers to support their computer coding club: they can plan coding sessions, promote sessions locally, communicate with parents, decide on learning resources, mentor young coders, and organise the space.
You don’t need to be a programmer or technology specialist to get involved! Lots of volunteers are parents and guardians of Dojo participants, and they start with no technical experience. Dojos benefit from having volunteers with different skills, backgrounds, and levels of knowledge to support and encourage kids and teens.
