Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in volunteering your time to help the Children of the Code Project.  Here is a list of the areas we could use help with. We hope one of them will be a good fit for your talents. Thanks again!

Media Awareness  -  We need to get media (TV, Radio, Print, Blog) attention to our work and mission. The best way to do this is a brief statement of why you think our work is important that includes links to the resources on our site that most support your statement (home page, video index, interviews index, topics, comments about COTC, etc.,).  If you need help with this click here and describe what you want to do and how we can support your efforts.

Video Transcripts for Close Captioning - We have a lot of requests from the hearing impaired as well as from academic researchers for verbatim transcripts of our video segments. Our next video player will have a button for CC as well as for access to the full text transcript of any video being played. To support this feature we need to create a transcript for each video segment in our collection. If you would like to transcribe a video segment please let us know which one(s) (click here) you'd like to do and we will get back to you further instructions including a template.

Interview Transcripts  - We still have dozens of hours of interviews to transcribe and edit. Be one of the first to hear these interesting interviews by volunteering your time to transcribe one or more of them.  Click her for more information on volunteering to transcribe our interviews We would also benefit from help in editing the interviews Click her for more information on volunteering to edit our interviews:

Topics - Our Topics page is a work in progress. Eventually we want every distinct 'point' discussed in every interview and video to be available through our topics index page.   If as you are travelling through our site and you think a particular point in a video or transcript should be included in our topics please copy the text, the name of the video and send us an a message (click here) indicating which existing category or topic it should be added to.  

Editing - Our site could always be improved by better editing. If you have good editing skills and would like to help us by reviewing and editing our interviews or content pages please click here

General - If you have talents that could contribute to our project in ways other than listed above we would love to hear from you.  Send us an email and tell us about yourself and what talents you want to contribute. (code-at-implicity.org)

Let's Stop Reading Shame!


Millions of kids grow up ashamed of their minds because they blame themselves for not being good enough at reading. It's a crime they feel this way and we want your help to stop it. We are raising money to give our DVD sets to the teachers and literacy volunteers that need it the most but can afford it the least. Help us raise funds that will spread the word about and help stop reading shame!  Donate now!


Don't forget to send us your feedback on anything or everything about our work.

THANK YOU!
