Girls Who Code is Stepping Up — Are you?

Girls in our programs are creating projects with code that are solving the world’s biggest problems- and we can reach so many more with your support.

When I started Girls Who Code five years ago, people thought we were crazy. It seemed like nobody was paying attention to what girls were up against — some people didn’t even know what coding was, let alone see the importance and need for an organization focused on teaching girls to code. But we persisted… and it’s working:

88% of our alumni have declared a CS major/minor or are more interested in CS

42% of our alumni are from underrepresented groups

39% of our alumni take AP CS

By spring of 2018, we’ll be 50,000 girls strong — and in every state across the U.S.

In 2017, women decided to take a stand and use their voices. We’re going to take this momentum and make lasting change for women, forever.

With your support over the past six years we’ve made tremendous progress and have seen girls use technology to change their lives and the world around them. Girls like Alexis, Victoria, Ashley, Jennifer, and Schyel, who created the Trash-Talk game to combat catcalling and street harassment. And these girls are just a few of thousands of girls who are using their Girls Who Code experience to make a difference.

This is a problem we can solve. Now is the time to flood the gates with a generation of girls who will code and program the innovations of the future. With your support, we can continue to build a movement to teach girls everywhere to be change agents in their communities.
