Resilient Coders
Resilient Coders is a volunteer-based program focused on making web technology more available to urban youth who might not otherwise be exposed to it. It's a three-part program that funnels students from learning HTML after school, through our downtown "Coworking" sessions, and ultimately, hourly employment. Our higher performersparticipate in Resilient Lab, a web design and development shop with real clients. We believe in technology as meritocracy.
