FAQ

Questions, answered

No. Many roles – welcoming people, running events, writing, social media and admin – need no tech skills at all. For Her Code mentoring, curiosity and a willingness to learn matter more than coding experience.

As much as suits you – from a couple of hours a month. You can tell us what works for you in the form.

Yes. Most core team and Her Code roles can be done online. Queen’s Park & Central sessions take place in person in Bolton.

Only for roles working with under-18s, such as Her Code and STEM ambassadors. If you don’t have one yet, we’ll talk you through it.

Anyone aged 18 or over who shares our mission to open doors for women and girls in tech. If you’re 8–18 and love tech, take a look at Her Code.

That’s fine. Choose “Not sure yet” in the form and tell us a little about yourself – we’ll suggest the best fit.
