About GWC

Tech jobs are among the fastest growing in the country, yet girls are being left behind. While interest in computer science ebbs over time, the biggest drop off happens between the ages of 13-17. Girls Who Code volunteers teach middle and high school girls a project-based coding curriculum while providing a supportive sisterhood of peers and role models to sustain their interest in computer science.
