Welcome to HackYourFuture. We really appreciate that you're interested in being part of our community. In this guide we want to give you an overview of the different volunteer positions available and how to get started. By volunteering you contribute to our main goal: help students gain the necessary skills to find a job as a programmer. This is only possible with the support of you: our volunteers.
Because you can make the difference for our students teaching and guiding them to become programmers. To be a good mentor, you also need guidance, as our students do. That's what this Coach Guide is for!
