We've create a presentation to give you an overview of what Code for Orlando is all about! It will answer any questions you might have about what we do, who we are, and what kind of projects we work on.
Attending our meetup for the first time can be overwhelming. We get it. How about we start small? Introduce yourself so we can get to know you better and connect you with the right resources.
Tell us a little about yourself. What's your name? What got you interested in Code for Orlando? What do you do? By any chance, do you have a favorite ice cream flavor? We'd like to know!

Feeling a bit lost? Having a buddy makes the onboarding process a bit easier. A buddy is a volunteer brigade member who is responsible for helping you settle into Code for Orlando.
Get the encouragement and support you need to make the most of your experience.
Here are a few ways to find a buddy:
- Attend one of our meetups. [Note: Matching buddy program coming soon]
