Girls in Tech

Girls in Tech is a global non-profit focused on the engagement, education and empowerment of girls and women who are passionate about technology. Adriana Gascoigne founded Girls in Tech in 2007 to create a support framework to help women advance their careers in STEM fields. Today, Girls in Tech aims to accelerate the growth of innovative women entering into the high-tech industry and building startups. We achieve this through the creation of proprietary, innovative programming and strategic global partnerships. With headquarters in San Francisco and more than 62,000 members located around the globe, Girls in Tech relies on volunteer efforts to lead each of the 47 local chapters. Programming and events vary by chapter based on local interests and needs. Girls in Tech is not just for professional women. We exist for anyone with an interest in technology, startups and providing women with a platform for growth. But we operate with the spirit of the girl within all of us—fearless, lively and determined.
