Higher Education - Decatur, Georgia, United States
Code:Out is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing women with the resources necessary to live flourishing lives outside of prison. We do this through three simple steps: Education – coding classes inside and outside of prison Social Support – creating safe space upon release, like skills tutoring & housing Job Training – providing seamless hiring practices for each woman who graduates our programWe are sick of the repeating cycle of imprisonment and women being lost to the prison system. We have decided to come together to do something about it. By teaching women in Georgia's prison systems how to code, we will give them a pathway to gainful employment regardless of criminal history. That, in turn, will supply sustainable wages for them and their families and reduce the risk of recidivism.
