The Recurse Center
The place for curious programmers.

The Recurse Center is a self-directed, community-driven educational retreat for programmers based in Brooklyn, New York City. It offers structured time away from work to focus on programming growth, with access to a physical hub, facilitators, and a supportive community. It also provides career services including job referrals and mock interviews through a network of alumni.
Participants attend a time-limited in-person retreat in Brooklyn where they set their own learning goals, work on projects, and receive support from facilitators and a peer community, along with optional career services.
