Do you perchance like to teach? Maybe lectures like traditional classes, but there's a huge need for mentors to young folks with interest in technical fields, particularly in underdeveloped countries (in many such cases merely talking to them in English is already a lot of help!)

I know I'd like to do that, but I've always liked teaching so maybe it's not fitting to everyone.

E.g. I volunteer at a local (Brazilian) nonprofit org as part of my employers' give-back programs and I love it. I try to get (underpriviledged) kids interested in computer science concepts by discussing how they are applied in games. It is all remote (which adds a level of challenge)

I'd believe many such orgs exist. In fact, writing this it occurs to me that putting together a curated list could be a worthwhile effort.

Hey man, long time lurker, first time poster here. I'm also brazilian (living abroad) and interested in doing some sort of volunteer work teaching CS basics. The idea of doing it in my mother tongue to underpriviledged brazilian kids sounds awesome!

I also have my email on my profile, please contact me with a bit more info...

Obrigado e tudo de bom pra vc!

Just a heads up - adding your email allows the admins to see it, but not other users. You'll have to add it to the description so I can see it!

Can I ask you what the name of the org is? I really like to teach, I've done it before, and being Brazilian really makes me want to give back to an institution closer to home.

Please add an email to your profile so I can reach out directly - I shouldn't doxx myself that obviously and if I post the name of the org I will
