Mentor Give Back Program
Keen to support the next wave of women in technology? The She Codes Mentor Give-Back Program allows our mentoring team to pay-it-forward by donating their fee back to fund future She Codes programs.
In this program, mentors have the opportunity to donate their fee to a Scholarship fund. Every time that the fund reaches one of the thresholds, another woman gets a chance to upskill into a tech job!
