Newton Library Seeks Adult Volunteer Instructor for ‘Girls Who Code’

As announced last week, the Newton Free Library will offer the Girls Who Code after-school program, 4-6PM on Fridays this year, November through May, to girls in Grades 6-12.  The Library seeks a volunteer instructor to commit 8 hours per month during this time to offer girls access to computer science education using the Girls Who Code curriculum.  The ideal volunteer will be proficient in programming languages, have intermediate knowledge of data structures and algorithms, and might be a current or former software developer or a current undergraduate or graduate student with major or minor in computer science.  The most successful volunteer instructors have had some type of experience teaching or working with youth — as teaching assistants, camp counselors, or tutors — although this is not required.  Find more info in this flyer (PDF).  If interested, contact Liz at teens@newtonfreelibrary.net or 617-796-1380.
