Our Progress since 2017!
Code Youth’s team works tirelessly to support Ontario’s at-risk youth in accessing jobs in technology. Curious about what we’ve been up to since 2017?
Code Youth encourages and empowers youth to pursue their potential through coding. Our resource page provides youth with links to free basic online coding training websites and relevant events occurring in Ontario. On our news page, we shared inspiration with youth, providing them with information about today’s technology, statistics about the challenges that youth face today, and encouraging stories of today’s technology leaders.
Code Youth engaged with a community of over 800 Twitter followers and worked hard to maintain an online presence through regular posts. Code Youth also established a social media presence on other platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, expanding our reach beyond our immediate community.
Code Youth spoke to a diverse variety of communities, from tech companies to youth service agencies. By attending events such as iTech Ottawa, Code Youth grew its network of supporters and continues to seek out new partnerships and opportunities to support our initiative.
Code Youth updated its three year budget to ensure financial sustainability.
