Description
Girls Who Code is seeking enthusiastic Discord Moderators for our 2025 Summer Programs. During the summer, we host two programs: our synchronous Summer Immersion Program (SIP) and our asynchronous Pathways. Our curriculum is designed to educate, inspire, and equip high school girls and non-binary students with the skills and resources to pursue academics and careers in the technology and engineering sectors, as well as build bravery and confidence. Our flexible virtual programs are unique in their approach by offering students across the country to participate in a computer science class that includes community-building and career exploration opportunities. Students enrolled in our programs will learn about Game Design, Cybersecurity, Web Design, Data Science, and AI.
We believe all girls have the interest and ability to code. Our Summer Programs Discord Moderator will encourage, nurture, and support students in the Discord space and with asynchronous moments of connection through our program. They will support all students enrolled in the summer program they are supporting (around 3-5k students) by assigning students roles, posting announcements and discussion starters, co-facilitating Community Events, and moderating student contributions in the GWC Discord servers over the course of the programs. The Discord Moderator is also encouraged to participate in the conversations and make connections with our GWC community!
Applicants must be a rising senior in college (or equivalent level of experience) or graduate at the start of the program and must be able to commit to the program schedule below.
Program Schedule
While there is some flexibility within this role, you should be able to commit to 1-2 hours of moderation each weekday during the program with the ability to monitor threads several times daily. Below are more detailed expectations for each program:
Average Working Hours: 20 hours/week
Start Date: June 2, 2025 (Training + staff role assignment begins in early June, student role assignment begins in late June/early July)
Program Start Dates: Prep week-June 30th, Classroom time-July 7, 2025
End Date: Programs end August 8, 2025; Last working day for offboarding and wrap up August 15, 2025
In total, there will be two rounds of our 2-week Summer Immersion Program throughout the summer, with a Prep Week before each round. SIP Discord Moderators will work in-program (a total of 7 weeks in-program).
During Prep Week and the first week of each program, you should expect to spend 10-15 hours assigning students roles in the server. Moderators should have availability that overlaps partly (1-2 hours per day) with core business hours (9 AM to 5 PM ET) to enable communication with GWC Central. This program’s server is most active between 11 AM and 5 PM ET, so ideal candidates should have the ability to actively monitor during this timeframe.
