Mission Statement
Girls Who Code is a national non-profit organization dedicated to closing the gender gap in technology. We’re building the largest pipeline of future female engineers in the United States through our afterschool and summer programs. Girls Who Code Clubs are free after-school programs designed for 6th-12th grade girls to explore coding in a fun and friendly environment. Clubs are typically hosted in schools, colleges, libraries, and community centers during the academic year.
Description
Girls Who Code is a fast--growing nonprofit changing the face of the technology sector. In our first two years of operation, we mobilized top executives, educators, and engineers to develop a new model for computer science education, leading the field in defining what works and delivering a successful, scalable solution for implementation nationwide. Now in our fourth year, our programs have demonstrated results, informed the field, and grown to encompass fifty-seven immersive programs spanning nine cities and a low--cost, high--impact program designed for implementation in any setting.
We are a small, dynamic group of people passionate about changing the world. We thrive on working in a collaborative, startup environment.
