CodeVA is a thought leader in the K-12 education community, developing and delivering engaging computer science content for both students and teachers. We are a 501c(3) non-profit organization based in Richmond, Virginia, that is rapidly growing, but committed to retaining our core values that have brought Virginia success in growing a strong CSforALL community. Our commitment is to supporting teachers and students, to building sustainable and collaborative communities, and to employing creativity and problem solving to an evolving and rapidly changing education landscape.

CodeVA’s Division of Children’s Programs (Eureka Workshop) provides out-of-school time, arts-integrated computer science programming for kids. All Eureka courses incorporate playful learning and creative problem solving to break down any preconceptions about coding or programming while fostering creative thinking and exploration of student identities.

The Tribal Community Program Provider is responsible for supporting the collaboration between CodeVA’s Eureka Workshop and Virginia Tribal Education Consortium (VTEC), the non-profit Tribal Education Agency (TEA) formed by and representing all seven federally recognized tribes in Virginia. This collaboration is funded under a 5-year grant provided by the US Department of Education Native American Career and Technical Education Program. The Career and Technical Education project supports Native secondary students in exploring and engaging with STEM programs and career options within Career and Technical Education. This role will work directly with the seven federally recognized sovereign tribes of Virginia. VTEC Member Tribes include Chickahominy Indian Tribe, Chickahominy Indian Tribe – Eastern Division (Nations), Monacan Indian Nation, Nansemond Indian Nation, Upper Mattaponi Indian Tribe, and the Pamunkey Indian Tribe, Rappahannock Indian Tribe and Upper Mattaponi Indian Tribe.

This is a full time position. The majority of this role can be performed remotely or in-person at Eureka Workshop in Richmond or Roanoke offices between September and February. During summer preparation in March, April and May, monthly site visits to Tribal communities are required.
