GIRLS WHO CODE INC

Girls Who Code works to close the gender gap in technology by educating, inspiring, and equipping girls with the skills and resources to pursue 21st century opportunities. In our first decade we've created the largest pipeline of future female software engineers and computer scientists in the U.S.

Central to our efforts at Girls Who Code is ensuring that more girls have access to Computer Science who would otherwise never gain meaningful exposure. This is particularly true for Black and Latina girls, and those with limited access because of socioeconomic status.

WE BELIEVE —

All girls are creators and able to make a positive impact on the world through computer science.

All girls of varying interests have the ability to be passionate about and interested in computer science.

Graduates of our programs will go on to deepen their CS learning and redefine cultural beliefs around what a computer scientist looks like.

CAPABILITIES
We offer learning opportunities for our students and alumni to deepen their computer science skills as well as their confidence.

CAREER
Our programs create clear pathways for Girls Who Code alumni from middle and high school and college into the computing workforce.

COMMUNITY
We build a supportive sisterhood of peers and role models who help our students and alumni persist and succeed.

Girls Who Code is the only organization in the nation providing high-impact, in-depth computer science education in a supportive environment to girls -- and we're the only organization with outcomes that clearly show our programs are producing significant numbers of college-aged alumni who are interested in STEM fields. We are on track to achieve gender parity in computer science by 2030.

Since launching in 2012, Girls Who Code has reached 500,000 students through our in-person and virtual programming, and 115,000 of our alumni are college or career-aged. We have sparked culture change through marketing campaigns and advocacy efforts, generating 14 Billion engagements globally. In 2019, the organization was named the #1 Most Innovative Non-Profit on Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list.

We imagine a world where our computer science classrooms are as diverse as our communities, a world where women in computing have a sisterhood to lean on, a world where that sisterhood creates real change for communities everywhere.
