Our Vision: To increase the number of women of color in the digital space by empowering girls of color ages 7 to 17 to become innovators in STEM fields, leaders in their communities, and builders of their own futures through exposure to computer science and technology. To provide African-American youth with the skills to occupy some of the 1.4 million computing job openings expected to be available in the U.S. by 2020, and to train 1 million girls by 2040.
We couldn't thank you enough for an amazing outpouring of support on #GivingTuesday. There is still time to give to help support Black Girls CODE and our tech divas as we head into 2019 with big plans in store for our girls. Please help us by spreading the word and giving to our end of the year campaign, volunteering to support one of our December workshops, getting your employer involved, and getting your tech divas involved in all that we do.
