They are all over the USA with classes, workshops and a network of women in tech. They are awesome!

there is also http://girlsncode.com from vienna. they do really nice screencasts and the content is in german.

<3 thanks all! also I've added resources from @cczona's version (https://gist.github.com/cczona/8e6681ea1ba18c94edd6) here.

THANK YOU!! Great work!

I also found this one just starting in Zagreb. http://www.ladiesthatux.com/ Regarding scholarships/grants, the Python Software Foundation is open to sponsoring people who would like to attend a conference or organise an event and need some financial aid - especially for under-represented demographics. https://www.python.org/psf/grants/ Cheers! :)

Take a look look at CoderDojo.com / CoderDojo.nl - Free IT clubs for kids

@rennup: added, thanks! @Kermit666: so cool <3

@paulbrowne-irl: yes, i love coderdojo - just for this list i'm focussing on marginalized groups in tech. we should definitely start a list with initiatives for kids in tech.

I'd like to suggest codebar.io (from the UK) for the workshops.

Suggestion: http://onewebforall.us/

The Roave Foundation is taking submissions to help fund people to good events, and helping to promote diversity at tech events is important to us. Please feel free to submit. https://roave.com/foundation

whoa, such cool initiatives! all added, thank you

I'm inviting the folks from http://codedoc.co to http://objcgn.com — we'll also screen their documentary. Does it qualify to enter in the list? Also, we have a special code "wwcode" that gives 30% from the Ticket price. Finally, I'm here because you (Anika) were recommended as a potential speaker from @orta :)

http://anitaborg.org/
They've a scholarship program in partnership with Google: http://www.google.co.in/anitaborg/emea/

We recently founded CodeCats.io a student-run coding initiative. It sits somewhere between workshop and network. I'd be more than delighted to see us added to the list.

Hi, I created and maintain a diversity index "50-DI" of grants, scholarships, travel bursary and/or financial aid offered to women (including those who identify as women in a way that's significant to them) from ALL around the world. I'll add your list there and anyone is free to file a PR for the different conferences and scholarship lists I maintain. Thanks.
