The Next IT Girl
The Next IT Girl helps close the gender and racial gap by providing technical workshops, mentorship, and career readiness for young women of color ages 8-22 who are interested in pursuing a technology career. One of the most exciting things about the technology field is how many different careers you can explore.

That’s why The Next IT Girl teaches young women about all aspects of computer science and information technology— not solely coding.
