TECH FOR NONPROFITS. SKILLS FOR CHANGE.

Code. Connect. Contribute.

We turn code into capacity, giving nonprofits back their time so they can give more to the communities they serve.

OUR MISSION

Technology in service of people.

Code for Good started with a question. After years mentoring at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ventura County, founder Saritha Ivaturi was asked by their CEO whether technology could help keep kids safer at the after-school centers. She built the answer in a two-day hackathon. Then she looked at what it made possible and asked: why confine this to one nonprofit?

Today we're an accredited 501(c)(3) building free automation for mission-driven organizations, and training the people they serve to run it. Three pillars, one loop: serve, train, employ, give back.

🤝

Nonprofits we serve

Free automation for mission-driven organizations, reducing administrative work so teams can focus on their mission. One youth center scaled its capacity from about 20 to 150 kids at a time — a 7.5× increase.

💻

Volunteers who grow

Students and career-returners get a free space to build real AI, cloud, and automation work, with referrals from us and from our partner nonprofits. Most move into mainstream tech roles within about three months. One landed at the CDC.

🌱

Beneficiaries who rise

The people our partners serve are trained on the very systems built for them, then given opportunities to earn as tier-1 support. At one partner organization, a program participant went from needing support to administering a platform built by Code for Good — turning new technical skills into paid work and greater independence.

“AI is merely a vehicle for the user. It can be used positively for the society or it can be seriously harmful when morals and ethics are overlooked. If we stick to the good, we can have an enormous impact on the community.”

Saritha Ivaturi, Founder

Safe AI for Kids

Digital safety taught at the age it lands.

A digital-safety curriculum, built in part by high-school students, taught at three levels. The youngest learn safe from unsafe with tablets, voice assistants, and chatbots. The middle level covers social media, predators, deepfakes, and phishing. High schoolers go deeper on data privacy, strong passwords, and responsible use of tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini.

High schoolers also run weekly Safe AI meetups of their own, as a youth leadership program.

STEM Career Readiness

A career path built for the AI era.

What you learn in school may be outdated by the time you graduate. This program rebuilds the on-ramp across eight pillars, teaching prompting, governance and privacy, and real architecture instead of monolithic vibe-coded scripts: multiprocessing, encryption in transit and at rest, privacy by design, and test-driven development.

The goal is practical. Build a portfolio, then start earning, turning a $50 gig into a $500 one before you graduate. Take it self-paced over 12 months or as a 4-week fast track. Free for nonprofit beneficiaries; for everyone else a donation as small as $1, and if you're a student, don't donate until you land your first gig.

Program · AI Assistant

ExecVault — The CEO's Minion

Code for Good volunteers built a 24/7 AI executive assistant that drafts communications, prepares board materials, writes grant narratives, tracks compliance, and generates financial summaries — all in the CEO's own voice.

Powered by Claude AI (Anthropic), this platform covers six modules: Communications, Board & Meetings, Grants & Funding, Compliance, Financial, and Program & Impact. Eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofits can access ExecVault free through Anthropic's nonprofit program and AWS credits (operating cost as low as $5–10/month). For the broader community, it's available for a small donation — making professional-grade executive support affordable for every mission-driven leader.

Program · Digital Literacy

Safe AI for Kids

Code for Good is developing a child-safe AI literacy program that teaches kids how to interact responsibly with AI tools. The initiative focuses on age-appropriate digital citizenship, helping children understand AI concepts, recognize bias, and use technology ethically — partnering with schools and youth-serving nonprofits to bring the curriculum directly into classrooms and after-school programs.

We are currently working with local youth centers run by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ventura County, For The Need Foundation, and Boys & Girls Club of Greater Ventura County, spreading Safe AI and digital skills across K–12 students. This program is free for all.

STEM Graduates Career Path — AI Era

Entry-level CS job postings dropped 60% between 2022 and 2024. CS graduates now carry a 6.1% unemployment rate, while 41% of those who are employed are working in roles that don't require their degree. The problem isn't the graduates. University curricula built for a pre-AI world simply don't teach what the market is hiring for.

Code for Good's STEM Career Readiness Program is a structured, self-paced initiative built on eight pillars: AI-augmented skills, a deployed project portfolio, gig economy entry, personal branding, micro-internships, strategic certifications, industry tooling, and community impact projects. Students who complete it don't just become employable — they become optioned: ready for a job offer, freelance income, or a startup of their own. This program is offered free for nonprofit beneficiaries and eligible students. Others can make a small donation.

Automation · n8n

Agentic AI for Nonprofit Organizations

Code for Good is pioneering the adoption of Agentic AI workflows for small and mid-sized nonprofits that lack the resources to hire dedicated tech staff. Using platforms like n8n, we design and deploy AI agent pipelines that automate grant research, donor outreach, reporting, and operations — empowering mission-driven organizations to scale their impact without scaling their overhead.

Platform · Flutter / AWS

MesaFarm

In 2025, Code for Good volunteers built an end-to-end automation system for MesaFarm, a nonprofit serving homeless youth aged 18–25. The platform includes admin, volunteer, and participant portals built with Flutter, AWS Amplify, and Node.js, taking the organization from zero to full automation.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ventura County

In 2024, we continued supporting BBSVC in marketing automation by migrating their email systems to Salesforce, streamlining communication and donor management while enhancing our mobile app for youth center traffic.

For The Need Foundation

Code for Good is helping For The Need Foundation secure and automate their mentorship platform using Azure, Microsoft 365, and AI tools for full operations automation, including profanity detection and data protection on their real-time chat module. The project is progressing toward full Agentic AI-driven automation using the n8n platform for AI agent workflow orchestration.

Origin story

The founding hackathon

In December 2023, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ventura County CEO Danica Selvaggio approached Code for Good for help with their youth tracking process in the youth centers. Our volunteers built a secure, mobile-friendly Flutter app on AWS Amplify with a Node.js backend and MySQL database, integrating image recognition and automated notifications to enhance engagement and data security. This initiative led founder Saritha Ivaturi to incorporate Code for Good as a nonprofit organization in 2024.

Mentorship

Mentorship Initiatives

Code for Good mentors women re-entering the workforce and underprivileged students applying to college — offering free support for resumes, essays, and project-based learning as well as financial aid. Several mentees have been accepted into top U.S. universities.
