What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

The LEAGUE of Amazing Programmer's mission is to equip young people with the skills, confidence, and creative problem-solving capacity needed to lead in a tech-driven world. We achieve this through mastery-based computer science and engineering education grounded in the values of inclusion and collaboration and enriched by industry professionals. Currently: _ There is a tremendous shortage of qualified computer programmers in the U.S. _ In 41 states, computer science does not count towards high school graduation requirements. _ It is 12 times less likely that low income and students of color have access to computer science courses in high school. _ In middle school, 74% of girls show interest in STEM, but when choosing a college major, just 0.3% high school girls select computer science. _ Women hold just 25% of U.S. technology jobs and only 5% of technology leadership jobs. _ Just 1 in 10 employees are Latinx/African American in tech companies.

Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

After-School Program Teaching Kids Java

A unique, after-school and weekend program that teaches Java computer programming to kids in grades 5-12. Instructors are a combination of paid staff and volunteer Java professionals. Our 10-level program starts with Java basics in an introductory workshop and continues on until students pass the Advanced Placement Computer Science A Exam and/or the professional Oracle Associate Certification Exam. Upper-level students return as Teaching Assistants for The League's lower-level classes.

Children and youth

Economically disadvantaged people

Java Workshops

To help address the critical shortage of computer programmers in the United States, The League conducts a series of week-long workshops designed to introduce young people (5th - 12th grade) to the principles of Java programming. Approximately 80% of workshop graduates continue on with The League's weekly classes.

Population(s) Served

Children and youth

Economically disadvantaged people

Tech Workforce Visits

The League provides opportunities for students to participate in Tech Workforce Experiences at companies such as Sony, SDG&E, Hewlett-Packard, and Intuit in order to gain valuable career exposure. We also host San Diego Unified students under-represented in STEM fields on Tech Discovery Day field trips to League headquarters in Carmel Valley, where they learn about future career opportunities in San Diego's tech sector and beyond.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

A well-paying computer science career by one member can lift an entire family out of poverty!

The LEAGUE of Amazing Programmers provides training in computer programming for students from 5th grade through high school. Our long-term program provides students the opportunity to acquire both programming and critical thinking skills that will prepare them for their future, whether that is college or entry straight into the workforce.

In a small class environment, students master programming lessons that are challenging, engaging and fun. Students who progress through the League program will be prepared to pass the AP Computer Science A Exam, will work on collaborative team projects and can prepare for the Oracle Certified Programmer Exam.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

The LEAGUE of Amazing Programmers 10-level curriculum is very unique: By programming games such as Pong, Tic Tac Toe, and Asteroids, students are kept interested in learning Object Oriented concepts. Each lesson is comprised of mini recipes where input of data results in the immediate output of a result, which allows the student to visualize what they are doing and make adjustments accordingly as needed. This fun approach provides great motivation. The school offers various programs like ongoing classes throughout the week, summer workshops and robotics competitions.

Classes are year-round and students can select from a variety of class times and days.
_ Extremely low student/teacher ratio (usually 6:1) allows for highly customized and personalized instruction
_ Students progress through 10 levels of instruction upon mastery of material
_ Advanced students are encouraged to mentor younger students by serving as a TA. This reinforces their own learning and provides confidence and motivation.

The League sponsors annual events for its students and encourages outreach to new students to come and explore coding.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

The LEAGUE of Amazing Programmers has a strong and highly motivated team of staff teachers, volunteer teachers and mentors who are expert Java programmers. These teachers and mentors bring their own unique programming experience from their respective fields into the classroom and provide their students with opportunities to think about career options, the latest industry standard and progress, introduction to professional resources and organizations and opportunities to explore new ideas in confidence.

Our teachers, an even mix of men and women, are passionate about coding and share their excitement of discovery and learning willingly with their students to encourage exploration and finding joys that might just last a lifetime.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

The LEAGUE of Amazing Programmers has grown from a dream with a handful of students to a robust program offering classes at multiple locations, libraries and schools. The League continues to work to reach deep into the community to provide a deeply rewarding and valuable programming educations to young students.

Each year a majority of our class of graduating seniors go on to universities to study computer science and engineering. Many come back in the summer to act as mentors and role models to the younger students.

The program currently provides financial aid to 30% of its students in under-resourced areas of San Diego County and we hope to reach a goal of 50% some day.

How we listen

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.

We collect feedback from the people we serve at least annually, We take steps to get feedback from marginalized or under-represented people, We aim to collect feedback from as many people we serve as possible, We take steps to ensure people feel comfortable being honest with us, We look for patterns in feedback based on demographics (e.g., race, age, gender, etc.), We look for patterns in feedback based on people’s interactions with us (e.g., site, frequency of service, etc.), We act on the feedback we receive, We share the feedback we received with the people we serve, We tell the people who gave us feedback how we acted on their feedback
What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
