AnitaB.org programs are shattering perceptions, providing opportunities, driving advocacy, and inspiring accountability as part of a coordinated strategy designed to achieve intersectional equity in tech. We connect, inspire, and guide women and undertapped groups in computing and organizations that view technology innovation as a strategic imperative.

People We Serve

Our social enterprise supports women in technical fields, the systems that train them, and the organizations that employ their talents. A full roster of programs help women grow, learn, and develop their highest potential, and drive cultural change for a more inclusive tech workforce.

AnitaB.org brings women technologists together to learn, celebrate, and thrive. Together we transform technology. Get involved today.

Our programs help organizations find new techniques of recruiting women and undertapped minorities.

Our primary program for Academic institutions is the Building, Recruiting & Inclusion for Diversity (BRAID) initiative, a longitudinal research effort that supports undergraduate computing departments in broadening participation in their CS pathways.
