    Technology Education and Learning Support (TEALS) is a Microsoft Philanthropies program that brings computer science (CS) to high school students all over the country.

    Since 2009, the TEALS Program has helped over 100,000 students to receive CS education, and we are looking to make this number even bigger – that's where you come in!

    The TEALS Program is only possible because of volunteers with skills like yours. Tech industry volunteers make a lasting impact on the next generation of innovators by helping students build their CS foundation. So, why not join?


    People love volunteering with TEALS. Watch their testimonial video here.

    At the August ECEP meeting, The Institute for African-American Mentoring in Computing Sciences (IAAMCS, pronounced 'i am cs') shared an opportunity for those interested in helping mentor Black/African-American youth to better participate in computing in both industry and higher ed (college +).   Commitment looks to be about 10-20 hours.   All are welcome to apply.     http://diversitycomplete.com/iaamcs/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Paired-Mentoring-Program-MENTOR-One-Pager-IAAMCS-3.pdf
