Booz Allen & Girls Who Code

We invest in the future by volunteering our time, skills, and experience to young women passionate about pursuing careers in science and technology.

For the last four years, we’ve proudly sponsored Girls Inc., a network of local nonprofits serving 136,000 girls age 6 to 18 across the U.S. and Canada. Giving back through community outreach—including supporting Girls Inc.’s mentoring and leadership programs—is important to our people.

“The programs are very closely aligned to the firm’s core values and specifically our commitment to diversity and community service,” says Principal Lucy Sorrentini, who serves on Girls Inc.’s national board of directors. “That makes it easy for me and others to engage and stay involved.”

Volunteers from our diversity forums—employee-led groups designed to leverage the firm’s diverse talent base to contribute innovative ideas and solutions—have organized or been directly involved in Girls Inc.’s programs across the country. Our Latin American Forum, for example, organized a Spirit of the Season mentoring event for the New York City chapter of Girls Inc. where more than 15 high school-aged girls learned firsthand about the importance of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in day-to-day life. They watched technology demonstrations and talked with mentors from Booz Allen about science and technology careers and how to pursue them.
