Regional Initiatives bundle and integrate NCWIT national programs within local communities. These programs serve as entry points into computing for women of diverse backgrounds, providing computing skill development, new employment opportunities, and more. Research shows that such longitudinal, community-based support is critical for increasing the participation and persistence of historically marginalized groups.

The Color of Our Future anchors NCWIT programs, initiatives, and research-based resources focused on broadening the meaningful participation of underrepresented women and girls of color (Black, Latinx, and Native American) to positively impact the future of computing.

Counselors for Computing (C4C) offers professional development to school counselors, providing them with essential knowledge and resources they can use to effectively guide ALL students as they explore computer science education and careers.

NCWIT Extension Services (ES) guides undergraduate and graduate computing departments in their efforts to strategically reimagine recruitment, retention, and evaluation. Through customized resources, ES helps participants increase declared majors and graduation rates and secure strategic buy-in and participation from colleagues, leaders, advisors, and students themselves for lasting systemic change.
