Our Mission and Vision are the backbone of our work, providing the motivation for our hard work and the unique structure of our organization.

Our Vision

Code the Dream envisions a world in which tech innovation comes from all of us and benefits all of us.

Our Mission

Code the Dream…

creates opportunity that changes lives,
builds technology that benefits our communities, and
supports the diversity that drives a more just and innovative world.

We carry out our mission through CTD Learns, our free code school, and through CTD Labs, where our paid apprentices gain real-world experience building apps for a wide variety of clients.

Code the Dream Core Values

Code the Dream’s core organizational values inform the content and practice of our work, and describe what we strive for within our organization, in the tech industry, and in society as a whole.

Inclusion

Equity is possible when everyone is able to contribute to their fullest potential, which only happens when we value diverse voices and lived experiences.

Community

A welcoming and supportive environment creates a sense of belonging where each person feels empowered to be their authentic self.

Growth

Innovation is fostered when we cultivate curiosity, engage in continuous learning and encourage improvement through iteration.

Impact

Meaningful change happens when we create equitable opportunities for individuals and also address systemic challenges in our world.
