About
Mission
At Code Fridays, we're more than a nonprofit; we're a vibrant community of innovators committed to transforming the tech landscape. Every week, we bring together engineers, designers, and dreamers to learn and create software that makes a real difference. Together, we tackle challenges faced by nonprofit organizations and use software as a tool for social good, empowering the next generation of developers to build a better world.
Story
Code Fridays started as a grassroots effort by a group of college students who shared a passion for technology and a common frustration with the gaps in their formal education, particularly in crucial areas like data structures, algorithms, design systems, and object-oriented programming. They began meeting informally in a local café on Fridays, pulling together their resources and knowledge to teach each other and solidify their understanding of these complex topics.

Story
Code Fridays started as a grassroots effort by a group of college students who shared a passion for technology and a common frustration with the gaps in their formal education, particularly in crucial areas like data structures, algorithms, design systems, and object-oriented programming. They began meeting informally in a local café on Fridays, pulling together their resources and knowledge to teach each other and solidify their understanding of these complex topics.
As these sessions grew in popularity, they realized the potential impact of expanding this collaborative learning model beyond their circle. The students envisioned a platform where knowledge and resources could be shared freely, connecting learners from diverse backgrounds with industry professionals willing to mentor and guide them. This vision led to the official founding of Code Fridays.
The organization was built on the principle that education should be accessible, practical, and community-driven. They began organizing weekly coding meetups, which quickly evolved into workshops, hackathons, and project-based learning initiatives that tackled real-world problems presented by local nonprofits. This practical application helped participants solidify their theoretical knowledge while making a tangible social impact.
Today, Code Fridays is recognized for its commitment to tech education and social good, empowering students and professionals alike to not only improve their technical skills but also to apply them in meaningful ways. The journey from a small group of students to a thriving nonprofit exemplifies the power of community and the transformative potential of shared knowledge and collaborative learning.
