We're a nonprofit, so our goal isn't really to make money. But we apply for grants and receive donations like most nonprofits!

lol Raul is one of our volunteers... We just told everyone that we posted on Hacker News today. He's real and his class just recently started, but glad his comment is so awesome that you think it's fake!

I'm not sure that I fully understand the question, but students participate in the class free of charge. It is offered either as an elective or afterschool club. ScriptEd has staff that helps manage logistics and other operational needs, but the volunteers teach the class with support from ScriptEd staff. Hope that answers what you are asking!

we use a lot of bitly links... you found something that we use for our classes!
The NY and SFBay bitly links don't have the same naming convention. This is what you are looking for: bit.ly/ScriptEdSFBAYvolunteer

Haha, I don't think many employers would be too happy about two full school days out of the office every week. We generally have volunteers teach in the morning or in the afternoon. It depends on school sites, but it's a total of 2-3 hours per week in the classroom. Apply at the link and we can tell you what's available and see if something works!
You can check out our curriculum here: https://github.com/ScriptEdcurriculum/curriculum17-18
Hope that helps!

We agree that Mission Bit does great work too! But yeah, we also work directly with SF and Oakland public schools, just not the same ones. Another thing that makes us different is that we focus on preparing our students for paid internships in high schools. Sounds like we agree that more students should access CS education.
