Big Sky Code Academy™ Announces its Code4Philanthropy™ Fellowship
Missoula, MT (PRWEB) May 06, 2016 -- Today, the America Campaign's™ Big Sky Code Academy™ officially launched its Code4Philanthropy™ (C4P) Fellowship. The C4P Fellowship is designed to solve two important challenges facing our country today: Provide free technology training to young adults to gain the skills needed to compete in today’s modern workforce and improve the deployment of innovative technology tools for a nonprofit sector in dire need of them.
"We created the Code4Philanthropy Fellowship after working with thousands of nonprofits over the years and seeing their need for improved technology solutions." said America Campaign Founder, Devin B. Holmes. "By harnessing the desire of our young adults to serve their communities with the innovative curriculum we are teaching at the Big Sky Code Academy, we were able to combine the service year and coding boot camp models to create a unique fellowship that will help modernize our nonprofit community."
Inspired by the success of service year programs like AmeriCorps VISTA, Teach for America and the Mission Continues, the C4P Fellowship provides individuals with an opportunity to serve the nonprofits in their community while gaining valuable and marketable experience with the latest software development languages. This unique fellowship is supported by the Big Sky Code Academy which will provide all C4P Fellows free tuition to its world-class 12 week coding boot camp.
