Location(s)

United States of America

Overview

Like most nonprofits, we rely on volunteers to accomplish most of our goals. From speaking at workshops and GHC to leading a local community and selecting award recipients, our volunteers have a direct impact on our mission. We’re changing the direction of tech, together.

Details

We have volunteer opportunities throughout the year, although primary recruitment is around the Grace Hopper Celebration in fall. We’ll update this page as opportunities open.

Grace Hopper Celebration Opportunities

We host thousands of women technologists each year at the world’s largest conference for women technologists. We require volunteers before and at the event. Our team starts recruiting committee volunteers in January. These individuals help us plan sessions, pick scholars, and review award applications. We also recruit volunteers for tasks at the celebration.

Community Leaders

Our network of locals, depend on dedicated individuals who help plan events, recruit members, and monitor their individual groups’ pages on our Community website. These Locals help women connect to others in their area and provide a space where they can share resources for navigating their career in tech.

Community Moderators

We also need help moderating the discussion boards – both within a Local and our global discussion. These volunteers assist in keeping our Community a safe place by watching for abuse.

Our Mission

Learn more about the work we’re doing to help women in tech succeed

At AnitaB.org, we envision a future where the people who imagine and build technology mirror the people and societies for whom they build it. We connect, inspire, and guide women in computing, and organizations that view technology innovation as a strategic imperative.

Our social enterprise supports women in technical fields, as well as the organizations that employ them and the academic institutions training the next generation. A full roster of programs help women grow, learn, and develop their highest potential.

OUR HISTORY

In 1987, computer scientist Anita Borg founded a digital community for women in computing. Today, AnitaB.org works with technologists in more than 80 countries, and partners with academic institutions and Fortune 500 companies worldwide.

We connect, inspire and guide women in computing and organizations that view technology innovation as a strategic imperative.
