Are you a software developer and looking to make a contribution to your local
community?
It's as easy as showing up once or twice a week for two hours and hanging out in
Slack.
You will make a difference and change someones life forever who is not as
privileged as you. >
Let me introduce you to @Code_Door.
As a coach there you will help #newcomers who are enrolled in an
@udacity nanodegree (frontend or backend). And
helping means, explaining very basic software problems or HTML tags and CSS
rules.
You don't need to have a lot of experience, what is most important is that you
love explaining and that you are patient. Many of the newcomers never had the
chance to receive the same basic school education we did. Many of them started
to use a computer just shortly.
But the work you will be doing enables them to receive a certificate and after a
special test they will receive accreditation from a local IHK which counts
towards the regular "Ausbildung" as a developer.
Essentially you will be helping them to be able to find a trainee position on
the regular job market within a year.
This shows how dedicated the @Code_Door
students are.
It's an incredibly satisfying kind of work, and it's a lot of fun!
