There are ~0 explicitly marketed as "help white men code", both because ~no one running an event would actually want to exclude the 0.5 female and 0.05 black attendees who might show up at a 50 person coding event, and because it would cause a political shitstorm.
There are plenty of "teach people to code" programs -- ranging from language-specific events to things at hackerspaces to companies pitching their APIs, at least in the Bay Area and Seattle and NY. I don't know about other places. Some have nominal attendance fees, but most organizers will waive them if you volunteer or are poor (and especially if you're a poor young person).
