Charities to run coding classes

18

I'm a software engineer looking to start a technology bootcamp. I'm looking to build some experience by offering programming courses/coding classes free to charities and I wanted to know if anyone could recommend a good charity to work with.

I have seen for example coding classes that people have done with Crisis UK.

Have you considered signing up as a volunteer STEM Ambassador (https://www.stem.org.uk/stem-ambassadors)? These are volunteers that help promote STEM subjects to children and young adults, and there are often requests for volunteers to assist with coding clubs in schools. I have been a STEM Ambassador for many years, and the role can be very rewarding.

Thanks for the reply! I have actually done this in the past with a company I used to work for. I'll take a look at potentially doing this again but with coding.
