Juneteenth marks a pivotal moment in our nation’s history—the end of slavery in the United States—and a continued call to build a more equitable future.

At Code Platoon, we believe access to opportunity matters. Creating pathways into tech careers is one way we contribute to that progress.

Today, we recognize the significance of Juneteenth and the work that continues.
