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.

CWIT

CWIT runs and prospers thanks to the time and talents of many members of our community. Even if you don't have much time or the ability to make a long-term commitment, you can still help CWIT thrive!

We are actively seeking volunteers in:

• accounting   
  
• event planning
  
• graphic design
  
• PR/Marketing
  
• photography
  
• social media

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

Yes We Tech! is a series of monthly meetups for girls in middle school. As much as possible, we hope to go to company and organization sites to see tech in action, meet female role models and do cool hands-on activities. We are looking for companies and organizations that are interested in hosting us one month this year.

Contact Kim Wilkens (kim@tech-girls.org) if you are interested and available in a Tech-Girls volunteer opportunity.
