Volunteer Experience

  • Coding for Refugees Volunteer Coordinator

    Cotopaxi

    - 4 months

    Education

    I mentored and taught high-school age refugees in the Salt Lake Valley area foundational coding knowledge and logic. Our goal was not only to teach them valuable technical skills, but to encourage the refugees towards further education and integrating into the Salt Lake community.

    I autonomously recruited 10 other volunteers to mentor students in the cohort. The Cotopaxi lead nominated me for the Lieutenant Governor's Volunteer Recognition Certificate because of my efforts.

    I autonomously recruited 10 other volunteers to mentor students in the cohort. The Cotopaxi lead nominated me for the Lieutenant Governor's Volunteer Recognition Certificate because of my efforts.

    Over the course of the 4-month program, I volunteered with Cotopaxi, Adobe, Goldman Sachs, V School, and Code.org to teach the kids foundational code structures and HTML. Two scholarships were offered to students of the cohort to attend V School. If they perform well, they may receive an internship from one of the participating companies.
