The Creative Coding Collective (CCC) is a volunteer-run, self-funded community of many 100s of creative developers, technologists, and industry specialists. We focus on collective action over individual complaints – building real solutions to shared challenges.
How We’re Organized
Funding: Everything is volunteer-run and self-funded by members. No corporate sponsors, no full-time staff.
Collaboration: We facilitate self-organizing teams around shared problems. You choose your involvement level.
Platforms: We use three main platforms, all connected.
