WHO WE ARE

Code2College is on a mission to dramatically increase the number of minority and low-income students who enter and excel in STEM undergraduate majors and careers. Our free program model tackles three of the most common barriers to entry that underserved students face when looking to enter the STEM field: education, exposure and experience. Code2College addresses these barriers by providing high school students with virtual coding classes, offering professional development workshops, and placing these students into paid, technical internships at some of the biggest tech companies in the world - all before they set foot on a college campus.

OUR IMPACT

From its inception just six years ago, Code2College has humbly served nearly 2500 students. Over 250 of those students have been placed into paid, career-defining internships in Software Engineering, Mobile App Development, Embedded Systems, IT, and many more.

Of the students we serve, 76% are proudly Black and Latine identifying, and over half are women and/or economically disadvantaged, with 40% being first generation college students. The majority of these students go on to pursue undergraduate STEM majors and successful technical careers upon completion of their Code2College courses.

WHERE WE'RE GOING: #THENEXT3000

Wielding the success and promise of the Code2College model, we are determined to change the face of the STEM ecosystem by scaling our impact throughout the United States.

Every summer Code2College high school interns contribute to employer codebase, become valuable assets to their colleagues, and shatter assumptions about what high schoolers are capable of. The Next 3000, our initiative to place 3,000 more high school interns by Summer 2026, will catalyze tremendous economic, social and professional opportunities for our students’ communities and the broader STEM ecosystem.

We're raising $50,000 to place 3,000 more high school interns like Calel by Summer 2026.

With your gift, we can do it.
