I teach for a local non profit that offers computer science summer programs for high school students. It’s merit based admissions so there’s all kinds of different skill levels. It can be really hard to fill teaching roles for basic programming

That sounds awesome! What's the name of the nonprofit?

It’s called Nextech. They work out of Indianapolis so if you don’t live close there isn’t much of a chance to volunteer, but I think the idea of what they do is pretty common
