Support young creators
To be a mentor, you do not need to be an expert in tech; you just need to be willing to guide young creators. In fact, using our projects with young people is a great way for you to learn new skills.
Find a Code Club
More than learning to code
Code Clubs offer so much more for young people than learning to code. You will support them in learning life skills such as teamwork and project management, and help create a fun environment along the way. You might also support the club leader with organisational tasks, such as venue logistics, social media management, and raising awareness in the local community.

Nadia started volunteering a local Code Club while studying in the UK. It gave her the chance to immerse herself in her local community and share her expertise in computing with young people.
