Dear UWD Affiliate Leads,

We hope this message finds you well. We are thrilled to say that Code for Progress is now receiving applications through January 13, 2013 for its first coding training in Washington, DC! We want to reach a wide group of potential applicants for this year-long program with 16-week paid-training. Can you forward this opportunity to your networks?

Happy Holidays!

Dear Social Justice Champion and Community Organizing Reformer,   The Code for Progress Team is excited to announce that we are officially accepting applications for our inaugural code training, beginning in April of 2014 in Washington DC!   What is Code for Progress?   Code for Progress is a unique opportunity for that special, stand-out individual in your organization to develop a valuable technology skill-set and move more deeply into the professional social-justice movement.   The training involves a yearlong commitment, beginning with a 16-week residency in Washington DC - including a $3,000/month stipend - where participants will learn to code, work on a development team, and gain real-world experience by creating an application to meet the needs of a local social-justice organization. Participants spend the next eight months connected to the Code for Progress community through a short weekly call and ongoing mentor relationships.   The ideal applicant should have the desire to build and improve the social-justice movement by innovating new ways to communicate, organize, and mobilize. To help achieve the goals of engaging new ideas and creativity in the technology space, and helping expand the voices contributing the social-justice technology movement, applicants should also identify as LGBTQ, a person of color, a woman, as low income, undocumented, or with another community historically excluded from the tech industry.   How do candidates apply?   The application for the first training class can be found here.    The deadline to complete an application is January 13, 2014. Click here for more information about the application process.   How Can I Help?   We need your assistance in spreading the word, educating your network about this opportunity, guiding prospects to the application, and helping us find an amazing cohort of participants.   We can't wait to meet our 2014 participants! Thank you for helping us identify the next generation of social-justice technologists!   Dirk Wiggins and the Code for Progress Team    follow on Twitter | friend on Facebook | forward to a friend  Copyright © 2013 Code for Progress, All rights reserved.  You are receiving this email because of your interest in Code for Progress.  Our mailing address is:  Code for Progress 1220 L Street NW, #100-513 Washington, DC 20005 Add us to your address book  unsubscribe from this list | update subscription preferences
