How to get involved

If you're a woman working in tech, you can register for our Role Model programme and join one of our Role Model Streams - Mentors, Speakers or Creators - meaning you can support our members in a way that works for you.

The Role Model community inspires girls in education to explore future tech careers while supporting women in the industry to connect, build skills, and grow into leadership positions.

Mentors

Our Mentors support Speed Mentoring at events, quick 10-minute sessions that allow them to meet multiple girls in one day. This format is ideal for first-time mentees and helps create a safe, supportive space, suitable for our young members.

Speakers

Our Speakers join us at in-person and online events to deliver inspiring workshops and talks for our members. New for 2025, we’re taking speakers into schools across the country to host live NTG assemblies, helping us connect with girls in a wide range of communities, from cities to rural areas.

Creators

Our Creator community helps bring the Next Tech Girls message straight into our members’ hands. By producing engaging, relatable content for our socials and blog, Creators help build our online community and inspire girls to see tech as a space where they belong.

“It was such a wholesome experience. It felt like a safe place to ask silly questions and get support from people I've never met.”
“I had the best day and came away feeling so inspired. I’m still buzzing from the event ✨. It was so great meeting more women in tech and being part of such a wonderful community.”
“I liked the speed mentoring most at Next Tech Fest as we could individually ask our questions and get a personal story of a woman in tech. I was extremely inspired.”
