Our Community

Over the past decade GDI has engaged over 100,000 women and non-binary adults in our programs and events. Since we have gone virtual in 2020, we have engaged 5,000 more. Some of our members already work in the technology sector, but even more are looking to break in. Many of our members currently work in the education and nonprofit sectors.
