Program Manager

WeCode KC · Kansas City, MO · Full-Time

WeCode KC is Kansas City's home for tech education — rooted in the urban core, built for

the young people most often left out of the technology economy. We're growing, and we

need a Program Manager who leads with both head and heart: someone who can hold the

operational complexity of a growing nonprofit and still show up on a Saturday morning like

it's the most important place in the world to be. Because it is.
