New volunteer orientation night
Details
Looking for a way to give back to the community, meet great people, and learn new tech and data skills? Consider joining one of Code for Charlottesville's projects!
Code for Charlottesville is a local chapter of Code for America. Our mission is to bring volunteers with code, data, design, research, or community organizing skills together to work together on a project with a local nonprofit or governmental organization.
We currently have three projects running:
-
City Streetlights: we are using data on the city's streetlight network to build a geo-mapping tool to better visualize and communicate this public data.
-
Criminal record expungement: we are working to measure the impact of Virginia's new criminal record expungement law by looking at a giant dataset of Virginia court records.
-
"The Shop": a pro-bono tech consulting service for local nonprofits. We form small teams and get to work on specific, useful projects for individual nonprofit partner organizations.
During this new volunteer orientation, one of the Code for Charlottesville volunteer leads will give a short talk about our projects and about all the ways to help. We'll get you set up on our website and Slack page and give you everything you need to hit the ground running.
We are meeting over Zoom to be able to welcome new volunteers from wherever they happen to be right now. Hope you can make it!
