Black Girls Code.
Our Vision
Launch one million Black girls, women, and gender-expansive youth in tech by 2040
We partner with schools, companies, local organizations, and dedicated volunteers to offer a range of in-person and virtual learning opportunities that build the skills and relationships our girls need to thrive in tech and beyond.
Inspire
Technology is for everyone. By providing access to education and opportunities, we inspire individuals to unlock their potential. We’re committed to creating environments that spark curiosity, build resilience, and remove barriers. Together, we activate our communities to shape a diverse and inclusive tech industry where our voices drive innovation and have the chance to thrive. Tech is for all of us. We belong in the room.
Invest
We invest in the future by designing programs that create real impact and sustainable change. Through bold partnerships and resourceful strategies, we equip our community with the best-in-class curriculum and ensure participants are equipped with industry-relevant technical and leadership skills. We believe in the power of community.
Innovate
Innovation is our promise. We equip our participants with cutting-edge knowledge and skills to lead in an ever-changing tech landscape. Guided by excellence, transparency, and accountability, we deliver programs that empower individuals to turn ideas into impactful solutions. Together, we’re driving progress and measurable outcomes in the world of technology.
Infuse Joy
We celebrate every achievement, big and small, as we nurture a love of learning and discovery. Through vibrant experiences, we foster a sense of belonging, purpose, and joy. By building a community rooted in optimism and possibility, we inspire future generations to dream bigger and achieve more.

Our CEO

Cristina's career has spanned across mediums and industries, with a singular focus: amplifying stories that matter. As CEO of Black Girls Code, she is ushering in the next generation of tech innovators and leaders.
