Letter from Reshma:
One of the most powerful bonds a girl can have is the bond of sisterhood, the bond of a community that rises together. In 2018, we took you on a journey through sisterhood. Using song and dance and conversation and comedy, we celebrated healing in sisterhood, learning in sisterhood, and coding and growing in sisterhood. We reflected on how far sisterhood has brought us… and, more importantly, how far it will take us. And it will take us far. When I talk to the girls in our programs, the girls who have graduated from our programs, I am filled with hope for our future. They are diverse and brilliant and kind and brave. They have the skills to create technologies that will change the world and a sisterhood to support them as they do. They – we, Girls Who Code – are the future. And we’re glad to have you as part of it.
We've released our 2018 Annual Report. Below are some great highlights!
Since our founding in 2012, we have served 185,000 girls!
50% are from historically underrepresented groups (HUGs)
In 2019, we expect our college-aged alumni cohort to grow to nearly 30,000 and they're majoring in CS-related fields at 15x the national rate.
