IT Girls runs on people who decide a girl in Texas should have a mentor, a workshop, and a Saturday worth showing up for. Your gift pays for the rooms she walks into and the women who are already there waiting for her.
The room, the supplies, and the equipment she gets to handle herself instead of reading about.
Mentors who have been screened
Background checks and careful placement, so the woman sitting beside her has been vetted before they ever meet.
Days that go somewhere
Trips, guest speakers, and events on the calendar that a girl signs up for because she wants to be in the room.
PayPal emails you a receipt for every gift. To give monthly, choose “Make this a monthly donation” on the PayPal page. IT Girls never sees or stores your card details.
Beyond money
Other ways to help.
Not every useful thing is a donation. Time, a room, and an introduction all count.
Mentor a group of girls
Around six hours a month with a group of girls, across the program year. Mentors complete a background check before placement.
Girls don’t need a perfect role model. They need a trusted woman who listens, encourages them, and returns. Commit approximately six hours a month to support girls throughout the program year.
