Apps for Good

Who we are

Apps for Good exists to ensure ALL young people have the tech innovation skills to thrive in an ever-changing world.

We’re proud that our computing courses give students the skills and motivation to shape their future through technology, while giving teachers the support and confidence to pick up and deliver high-quality education content and resources.  

We’re a small charity committed to offering an opportunity for all. In the past 13 years, we’ve worked with almost 250,000 young people, with more than half of our schools educating young people experiencing disadvantage. 

Thanks to the generous support of our partners, including the likes of Spotify, Google, Hg Foundation and OVO Foundation, in addition to volunteering their industry expertise, our courses are made available to schools 100% free of charge.

We have ambitious plans to expand our reach to make a positive impact on even more young people in the UK.   

The team

We are a charity with an agile, start-up mindset. We are a small, remote-based but highly ambitious and energetic team that all believe strongly in our mission and values. If you believe in the power of technology and education to transform lives, then you will be the perfect fit!

Our culture and values

Tech for Good

We believe that young people can shape their future through technology. We don’t just teach them to code - we teach the entrepreneurial skills they’ll need to become the tech innovators of tomorrow.

The need for essential skills

Our content develops the essential skills needed for future work, improving young people’s confidence, problem-solving, collaboration and communication skills. We are accredited by Skillsbuilder and use their framework to aid student success.

What matters to students

Young people are empowered by solving problems they care about. We teach how technology can have a positive impact and support them to design relevant tech products that will change their world for the better.

Industry engagement

Our students build their products using processes that are aligned with industry. We connect them to real-world professionals to support their product ideas by providing feedback and career insights.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Everyone is welcome at Apps for Good. Our diverse perspectives fuel our innovation, and we strive to build an inclusive team that reflects the school communities we serve. We welcome applications regardless of race, gender, disability, religion/belief, socio-economic background, sexual orientation, or age.
