Since founding CWIT in 2014, we have consistently seen that our greatest strength has been the overwhelming support demonstrated by our community of local women.
~ Eileen Krepkovich, CWIT President

How can you get involved?

Charlottesville Women in Tech and Tech-Girls provide lots of ways to get involved with the local community.

• event planning
  
• graphic design
  
• PR/Marketing

If you have any of the above skills and would like to use them to contribute to the CWIT mission, please email volunteer@cvillewomen.tech. Thank you!

Tech-Girls

In January 2021, we are launching an online workshop series with the goal of offering middle school girls in the region an outlet to understand, pursue, and grow their STEM+CS interests. We are currently recruiting workshop facilitators to share their passion for STEM+CS with the next generation. Training and support will be provided.

Contact Kim Wilkens (kim@tech-girls.org) if you are interested in learning more about this opportunity.
