Few students are interested in enrolling in coding classes, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds. Our creative and fun programs get students excited about coding and drive enrollment.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our programs help students explore coding, even students who never thought they'd want to code. Students leave excited and enroll in CS classes and join CS clubs.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
- Always hands-on: Fun, hands-on experiences get students talking about how fun coding is, in a way classes never can.
- Work with existing interests: From artists to mathematicians, our programs show students how coding can complement their existing interests.
- Diverse targets: A majority of students who are currently un-interested in coding come from backgrounds without much access to technology.
- Inclusive community-building: We work to connect students across schools, cities, and demographics, to build communities which support students life-long: from learning to code through looking for jobs.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have built an expensive network of volunteers and school/promotional partnerships in 40 cities nationwide; we are now in close proximity to 79% of students in the US, and have the resources to reach them.
Our board and executive team have lead companies to IPOs, launched highly successful consumer products, and worked as classroom educators, giving us the extensive operational and educational experience necessary to continue to grow.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Students in all major US cities can now attend a CodeDay by driving less than 2 hours because of our expansion to 40 cities nationwide. Nearly 20,000 students have attended so far, and 42% are female, 38% come from a low-income background, and 28% identify as Hispanic/Latino or African American.
Although 75% of participants have little experience before attending -- in fact, 25% have literally no prior interest whatsoever -- 80% of participants report that they're still coding when we ask 2.5 months later.
How we listen
Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.
-
How is your organization using feedback from the people you serve?
To identify and remedy poor client service experiences, To identify bright spots and enhance positive service experiences, To make fundamental changes to our programs and/or operations, To inform the development of new programs/projects, To identify where we are less inclusive or equitable across demographic groups, To strengthen relationships with the people we serve, To understand people's needs and how we can help them achieve their goals
-
Which of the following feedback practices does your organization routinely carry out?
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 engage the people who provide feedback in looking for ways we can improve in response, We act on the feedback we receive, We tell the people who gave us feedback how we acted on their feedback, We ask the people who gave us feedback how well they think we responded
-
What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?
It is difficult to get the people we serve to respond to requests for feedback

CodeDay
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
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.

Last updated: 10/02/2023GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more
- We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
- We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
- We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
- We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
- We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
- We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
- We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
- We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
- We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
