KEEP CODING ALIVE

Goal: $200,000 by July 31

Your support will reopen all four locations for the 2025–2026 school year.

Why Your Support Matters

Thousands of youth living in New York City public housing face steep barriers to education and economic opportunity—especially in tech. At Hood Code, we provide free after-school and summer coding programs for kids ages 8–15 in NYCHA communities.

But right now, we’re at a crossroads. Without $200,000 in funding by July 31, we won’t be able to reopen our four main sites next school year.

Your gift today will help us keep coding alive for students who need it most.
