Our mission is to give youth the opportunity to learn technology concepts, and leadership skills; creating a pipeline of future-ready professionals through project-based learning and innovative programs.

We're an initiative that serves the urban core of Kansas City, exposing youth to various computer science concepts. Every child, no matter their zip code or their family’s financial status, should have the opportunity to learn to code.

It is the policy of WeCode KC to ensure equal participation in all youth and young adult programs and employment opportunities, without discrimination or harassment based on race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, marital status, veteran status, or any other class protected under federal, state, or local law.
