code—they learned to collaborate, gaining the skills and confidence
needed to succeed in tech. Many have gone on to roles at companies
like Google, Shopify, and Zapier, while giving back to support the
next wave of talent.

We we&apos;re incredibly
proud of the community we&apos;ve built together. None of this would
have been possible without the dedication of our volunteers,
mentors, and developers. Their passion and commitment have left a
lasting legacy of growth, mentorship, and inclusion in tech.
Our developers reflect the diversity we
want to see in tech, with an emphasis on supporting people from
groups typically underrepresented on software teams. Joining us as a
volunteer is a way to give back and help early-career developers
gain their footholds in tech.
