Run a club

Code Clubs empower young people to become creative thinkers and resilient learners. By running a club, you’ll also build your own skills in mentoring, organisation, and of course, coding.

Ready to start?

Start a Code Club by yourself or as a team.

1. Choose your venue

Code Clubs are held in lots of different places, like schools, libraries, office spaces, and community centres.

2. Register your club

Complete your application to start your club. We'll ask for a few details, like the address of your club. We might also ask you to nominate a safeguarding sponsor.

3. Start running

Once your club is verified, take a look at the Code Club leader guide, which includes helpful information for running your club.

Running a club session

We have hundreds of free projects to help you tailor your sessions to your young creators. You can try:

  • Group sessions to tackle challenges together
  • Themed meetups to highlight important topics
  • Learner-led sessions where creators choose their own projects

Planning your sessions is quick and easy — you’ll have access to over 200+ projects available in up to 40 languages.
