re:Bloom’s mission is to make web services accessible, affordable, and sustainable, especially for women & minority-owned, small businesses within our community. See what our past volunteers have done.

10-Week Website Bootcamp Volunteers



Over the next 10 weeks, you will work together to solve a business problem using technology. While coding experience is appreciated and makes it easy to create custom code injections, it's not necessary! We work to meet our client's business needs which means we work a lot with platform builders and no-code solutions (Wix, Squarespace, etc.).

We appreciate volunteers who are willing to learn and pick up new technologies. Our volunteers on average spend 10 hours a week on their projects. Each week, our volunteers attend a 1-hour meeting with their client, a 1-hour meeting with their team, and a 1-hour workshop on relevant web development topics. The rest of the time will be spent on individual project tasks.

We appreciate your interest in re:Bloom. However, Our programs are no longer being offered as of August 31, 2024. If you have any questions or need support, please contact us at info@re-bloom.org
