Wwe have partnered with many organizations to move the needle on diversity at Twitter.
A few of those are:
- As its early “seed” partner, we have strongly supported Girls Who Code since its inception.
- We have hired interns from our long-standing internship program with Year Up.
- We regularly host Girl Geek Dinners, most recently in San Francisco and Boston.
- We have a local affiliation with sf.girls, part of San Francisco Citizen’s Initiative for Technology and Innovation (sf.citi). The group aims to inspire and empower middle school girls to pursue an education and career in technology.
- We are pleased to sponsor a number of conferences geared to under-represented groups such as the “Out for Tech” (Out for Undergraduate Technology Conference) and have actively participated in the Grace Hopper conference with Twitter engineering staffers presenting each year since 2011.
- We are providing bias mitigation training throughout the organization.
- We also support (by hosting, joining and promoting) many other initiatives aimed at helping women in STEM fields, such as Technovation, Techwomen, Chime for Change, LEAD Computer Science Institute, PyLadies, Black Girls CODE.
