Our goal is to reach ONE MILLION GIRLS* by 2030 by reaching educators and advocating to eliminate the barriers girls face to persist in STEM.

We equip and galvanize gatekeepers – out-of-school time (OST) educators and STEM professionals – with gender responsive, culturally relevant curriculum and equity training that empowers them to act as an advocate for BIPOC girls pursuing their STEM aspirations.

Equipping Educators

Educators and STEM professionals serve as STEM gatekeepers, with the power to disrupt inequitable systems and pave the way for the next generation of STEM leaders. Through our equity curriculum and training, we equip gatekeepers to create an inclusive, safe space where girls gain a sense of belonging, build their knowledge, and can bring their whole selves to STEM exploration.

Advocacy & Awareness

After 20+ years in the field, we know that STEM education** is not working for girls — particularly Black, Indigenous, and Latina girls living in marginalized communities. The data continually shows how few Black, Indigenous, and Latina women are STEM professionals.

*includes STEM education at the K-12 level; community settings, such as afterschool and summer programs; professional development, such as mentoring programs

Our Reach

In the last five years, Techbridge Girls has grown significantly through national partnerships and our Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) network. Our national footprint enables us to serve up to 25K girls annually with our eye on a million in 10 years.

From Our Community

Educators — in classrooms, afterschool programs and in the community — have the power to show girls that they are celebrated, centered and belong 365 days of the year. There is a collective power to reimagine a STEM pathway that works for every girl, no matter what they look like or where they come from. But first we must fling open the gates so the genius can flow through.
Okta for Good’s $1.6 million philanthropic grant is part of the company’s growing portfolio of grantee partnerships with organizations focused on inclusive pathways into technology. The funds will be distributed to organizations including Ada Developer Academy, CodePath, ColorStack, Develop for Good, The Hidden Genius Project, NPower, Per Scholas, Techbridge Girls and Genesys Works, WiCys (Women in Cybersecurity), and Year Up.
Women of color are among the most underrepresented population in the STEMM ecosystem, making up only 11.6 percent of the science and engineering workforce. Women, especially women of color, face outsized barriers within the STEMM ecosystem that start early and persist throughout the education and career pipeline.
Techbridge Girls (TBG) serves Black, Indigenous, and all girls of color, which includes cis girls, trans youth, gender non-conforming, and/or non-binary youth who experience(d) girlhood and economic insecurity as a part of their journey.
