If you're a volunteer

The easiest way to get involved is to sign up with an afterschool progtam that's already offering Bootstrap. These programs take care of all the logistics - materials, student recruitment, behavior management, and more! Bootstrap has partnered with afterschool programs around the country, such as Citizen Schools, the Providence After School Alliance, and Upward Bound. These programs are active in New York, Massachusetts, California, Texas, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. It's easy to connect with these programs, and just stop by to visit a Bootstrap class to check it out.

If you're not near one of these locations, but know an organization in your area that might be interested in delivering Bootstrap —or even are willing to set it up yourself—please do get in touch!

If you're a teacher

We'd love to share our curricular material (much of which is already online). We have content that ranges from middle-school through high-school to college. Get in touch; tell us what level you're at, and how much contact time you want to dedicate to this.

Who Uses Bootstrap?

The Bootstrap curriculum has been used by teachers and volunteers all over the country. Of course, we already offer it as afterschool program through Citizen Schools in California, Texas, Massachusetts, and New York. But Bootstrap is also being used as an introductory module to accelerate high school students taking the AP computer science class, as well as an introductory programming class or Algebra enrichment module in middle schools, high schools, and colleges around the country.
