TechGYRLS

The YWCA TechGYRLS program was launched in 1997 to create opportunities for underserved girls to explore the latest technologies in a nonthreatening, girls-only environment. The program encourages girls ages 9 to 13 to delve into computers, animation and robotics technologies under the guidance of college-age and professional women mentors.

This program is offered to both girls and boys in separate sessions. It is consistent with the YWCA's emphasis on education and career preparation. We believe it is crucially important to introduce the children we serve to career options and to emphasize the importance of educational preparation at an early age. TechGYRLS allows children to explore careers in technology and the sciences early, so that they have enough time to plan their high school curriculum so that they may pursue a career in one of these high demand, high paying fields.
