ADVOCATE

Advocate for and support underrepresented people in tech

Many organizations for women in tech and other under-represented groups have shut down the past few years like Women Who Code and Girls In Tech. One of the reasons is lack of funds. If you are able to, please donate to organizations that support underrepresented people in tech.

  • Resilient Coders trains underrepresented black and brown talent for high-growth careers in software engineering.

  • Code2040's mission is to activate, connect, and mobilize the largest racial equity community in tech to dismantle the structural barriers that prevent the full participation and leadership of Black and Latinx people in the innovation economy.

  • AISES (Advancing Indigenous peoples in STEM) is a national nonprofit organization focused on substantially increasing the representation of Indigenous peoples of North America and the Pacific Islands in (STEM) studies and careers.

  • The Blacks In Technology Foundation is the largest community of Black people in the technology industry.

  • Techqueria empowers Latiné professionals to not only enter the tech industry but to thrive within it.

  • Out in Tech is the world’s largest non-profit community of LGBTQ+ tech leaders.

  • Women in Security and Privacy (WISP)’s mission is to advance women and underrepresented communities to lead the future of privacy and security.

  • Women in Data is a community dedicated to supporting and advancing the careers of women in the field of data science and analytics.
