http://perpetual.education is a design/programming school. We like to be part of the discussion over here at Dev.to / We have time-slots for free conversations for career advice IRL : )
Our little group all happened to go to art school. That's where some of us met. A few of us were on the dole as kids and a few of us had things pretty dang good financially / so, there's a mix - but we all ended getting educated well, and we have a deep respect for teachers. Instead of attempting to transfer knowledge / we seek to create a space where students create the knowledge. You can read all about those ideas in Pedagogy of the Oppressed.
We run a few discord servers / offer free career guidance advice / scholarships - and a bunch of stuff... but the people we want to help most - just aren't really around those forums. We're working on some plans to reach out to people through less digital ways by opening up discussions with schools in under represented communities. But - even just jumping on a zoom call and helping someone out for an hour - can make a huge difference. Stuff like this is fun: latinxswhodesign.com - What do you think the best way to spread the love of learning is?

With regard to? We can do that. The basics would be to introduce people to tools instead of teaching them procedures. Anyone can "make a website" - and follow the steps that someone told them - but showing someone a way 'to think' about discovery and how to feel safe talking things slow - and how to listen and research and hypothesize and prototype / is how you can set people free - and they'll take that mind-set and share it. Right now, people are herded into packs of opposing consumers and taught to identify by association instead of by their true self and connection to our world. It's not specific to "code" or programming... but the things we are building are reinforcing the mindset that allows the people to be oppressed and to oppress themselves.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

If you made a post about code w.r.t. Pedagogy of The Oppressed I would read it. I think you have some real insight there.
