About Mission Bit

Mission Bit is a San Francisco-based nonprofit that inspires youth of color to explore the world of STEM with project-based computer science education that embraces their identities. We offer a variety of hands-on STEM education programs, including semester-long introductory coding courses.

The role

As an In-school Instructor for the Intro to Web Design class, you will be at the forefront of high-quality computer science education by connecting with students to foster an engaging and welcoming classroom environment!

We’re proud to provide training to all instructional staff to prepare them to teach, along with ongoing support throughout the semester!

If you have a passion for community, social justice, and coding, and if you want to uplift Bay Area youth and bridge the tech divide, then this might be the opportunity for you!
