Join the Team

Help students start tech careers and keep advancing in them.

All Star Code is a workforce development organization. Our year-round staff and summer instructors teach code as one part of that work. The larger job is preparing students for a first tech role and giving them the skills and network to keep advancing in their careers.

Why join

Our work is only as good as our team.

The Summer Intensive is where a student becomes a Scholar, and the instructional team runs those six weeks. Instructors teach the technical curriculum, coach students on the professional skills employers expect, and prepare them to present their work to industry professionals. Some Scholars return years later as instructors, mentors, and hiring partners. Year-round staff run the rest of Launching Digital Futures, which supports students and Scholars from first exposure to computer science through a first job and the career after it.

Paid training

Every instructor completes Professional Development Week before the summer begins: up to 40 hours of paid training on our curriculum and classroom management.

Weekly calls and feedback

You join a weekly call with the curriculum team and the other instructors and receive regular feedback on your teaching and classroom management.

Our network

Staff join the same network as our Scholars, mentors, and partners. Teaching Fellows are Scholars who return to teach the Summer Intensive.
