WE ARE

CODE FIRST GIRLS

Code First Girls has become one of the largest providers of free coding courses for women globally, having delivered over £75 million worth of free technology education and teaching three times as many women to code as the entire UK university undergraduate system!

We are on a mission to close the gender gap in the tech industry by providing employment through free education. We’ve already helped more than 200,000 women learn to code and by working with companies globally, we’re boosting employability, diversity and social mobility, transforming local economies and communities. 

But we want to go further – our aim is to provide one million opportunities for women to learn to code and participate in the industry in the next five years, becoming the world’s first EdTech unicorn dedicated to women.

Our values are what drive us, guide us and hold us accountable to ensure Code First Girls is the best it can possibly be for our community, our partners and as a company.

Our community is our ride or die
We serve our community first. Everything we do is for them and we are their biggest advocates. We cheer them along on their journey into tech, support their needs and help them succeed.
We're hear to drive change
Driving global change is a big job, but we are here for it. We’ll be bold, relentless, strong, and muster up all the courage in the face of adversity. We are proud and passionate about this cause and we’re here to drive real change. We’re all about less talk and more action.
We'll be straight up and kind
We’ll say it how it is and always choose honesty, truth and transparency. We choose kindness and empathy, and treat everyone how we want to be treated personally. You won’t find big egos here, there’s only room for good people.
We're stand out and authentic
We are not like the rest. We are different, we challenge the norm, we are bold, fierce and authentic and definitely not stiff or stodgy. We take risks, we adapt and innovate; we look disruption in the face and give it a cheeky wink.
Team work makes the dream work
Our team is empowered to make it happen. We bring the hustle, the fire, the determination every.single.day. Passion and collaboration fill our cups and we aim to deliver the best in everything we do together.
We have fun and celebrate the wins
It will be a journey, but we will make damn sure we’ll have fun along the way. We celebrate the wins, no matter how big or small and recognise the many, many, many individual contributions everyone has made each step of the way on this big journey.
