Frequently Asked Questions
- Are your mentors paid?
- Nope. Every one of our mentors has chosen to volunteer their time.
Why would they do that? Two reasons: they’re really passionate about
software development and they’re just awesome people! We've got an
active community of volunteer mentors, eager students, and long-time
graduates helping each other succeed and be passionate about technology.
- My employer has a community engagement program. Can I track my volunteer hours?
- Yes! We'd be happy to verify your volunteer hours while mentoring!
