Marketing and Communications Specialist

Code Crew is a Memphis-based nonprofit on a mission to empower communities to shape the future through AI and computer science education. Founded in 2015, Code Crew started with a conviction Memphis couldn’t afford to ignore: the tech economy was accelerating, and too many of its young people and working adults were being written out of it. A decade later, that conviction has grown into a movement.

We’ve trained 16,000+ students and adults, delivered half a million hours of computer science education, and helped pass legislation guaranteeing Computer Science education for every Tennessee student. Annual Revenues: $2+ million | For more information, visit (Use the "Apply for this Job" box below)..
