Serving Oakland With Action
It's been a HOT Summer so far and it's been incredible meeting new faces in our neighborhood. Oakland has a beautiful community, and our city couldn't need us more than it does right now.
The citizens of Oakland have been bombarded with high crime. Small businesses like Programmers Guild have been the prime targets the past year of organized theft and vandalism. More policing helps. But our community needs far more than that. We can't forget that investing in things to do provides opportunities for people to improve themselves. Those investments need to be friction-less and where possible, have an open door policy. Our doors are open to all, especially those desperate to change their lives by changing their careers. We can help, and it won't cost you anything.
Support grass roots efforts like ours, where you can easily see the impact of what we're doing just by visiting our workshop any time. You can sponsor any of the upcoming training sessions on our schedule. more about sponsoring courses in your community ...or if you've already made up your mind, use our Zelle code.
Youth Coding Camp Starts July 8th!
This is our first Youth Summer Camp and we're excited to support the continued development of Oakland's youth! They're the next generation of technologists. This is will a small, but mighty cohort and the workshop is open-door: students register to participate and they can join us any afternoon during the week at 1pm to learn and create their own technology. Register today, spots are limited!
Community Services
In the long run, all training offered at Programmers Guild will be FREE. But to get there, we need your support! It helps a lot when you share us with your friends and peers or follow us on social media. As a start-up, every mention of our name is appreciated and we thank you.
In return, we take special care to invite and encourage those from nontraditional educational backgrounds, those who are a little too awesome for convention and those who find doors closed on them for bad mistakes. Sure we work with veterans, those seeking employment, college students prepping for their careers and anyone who shares our love of tech. But we exist to serve the under-served within the Bay Area. That's our mission.
