Looking for a co-founder for a local coding tutoring nonprofit

I'm launching a nonprofit to teach introductory Python and Web Dev to low-income middle schoolers in my area. I need another student (ideally with some frontend or graphics design experience) to help design curriculum materials and co-run logistics. Perfect EC to demonstrate leadership. Let me know if interested!
