Who We Are
Launched in 2014, Vets Who Code is a veteran-led 501(c)(3) closing the digital talent gap by training veterans and military spouses in software engineering — free of charge. We believe those who served in uniform are among the most disciplined, adaptable, and innovative builders the digital economy will ever see. Over a decade in, we've trained 300+ veterans, generated $20M+ in collective alumni earnings, and built a community where service continues after the uniform comes off.
We're a reintegration solution for early-stage transitioning veterans and the spouses who move with them. Many are not homeless — they're un- or under-employed, often with skill sets local economies desperately need. Some want stable careers. Others want to build their own companies. Vets Who Code is the launchpad for both.
What We Do
Once a year, we run a single intensive cohort of veterans and military spouses through a remote software engineering program — JavaScript, web development, AI tooling, and the workflows real engineering teams use. It's deliberately demanding. Cohorts run entirely online using the same tools the tech industry runs on, so members can train from anywhere their next chapter takes them. Tuition is zero. The only ask is that they contribute to the team and help the next veteran behind them.
How We Do This
We teach the craft through a Crawl, Walk, Run progression — each lesson builds on the last so members don't just learn syntax, they learn how to engineer. Every instructor is a veteran, a working programmer, and a Vets Who Code alum. That means the person teaching you has walked every success and setback you'll hit on the path to becoming a paid software engineer. No theory from someone who hasn't done it. No excuses.
