A LEARNING COMMUNITY FOR
Black, brown, and indigenous WOMEN
AND NON-BINARY PEOPLE OF COLOR
PURSUING CAREERS IN TECH

Who We Are

We are city planners, technologists, and activists working towards equity and social justice by providing young women and non binary people of color with foundational needs such as housing, inclusive communities, quality education, and expanded access to economic opportunity.

What We Do

Boston is a city of great opportunity but also geographic and demographic inequity. This drastically impacts young women and non binary people of color – while there are many programs that benefit them during high school years, after that their options become limited. Our programming empowers these folks that are aging out of other services to explore their next steps and pursue careers as change makers in the tech industry.

“G{Code} is special to me because it gave me a space to explore my tech curiosities with a bunch of people who looked like me! G{Code} allows you to ask as many questions with no judgment and gives you all the resources to succeed during and after the program! From the CareerDevs, community nights, Twitter spaces, and mentorship, G{Code} sets you up for success!”

“G{Code} not only provided me the fundamentals of coding, but they provided me a unique family unmatched to anything I’ve ever experienced. Even after graduating the program, I’m still very close to all cohort mates (new and past) and we cheer on each others “come up”.

“I think it’s really rare to meet people who are just wholeheartedly willing to support you, and that’s what’s so special about this program. The admin and your fellow cohort members really want you to finish the program and do the best that you can for yourself afterward. Whether you go into tech or not, this is a good experience to have.”
