Girls4Tech™ is our signature education program that showcases our payments technology and engages our employees as role models and mentors—all with the goal to inspire a career in science, technology, engineering and math. Since the program’s launch in 2014, we’ve reached more than 1,600 girls in the U.S., India, Germany and the U.A.E.
In Singapore, we support the Girls2Pioneers program with UN women. Workshops are run by MasterCard employees who encourage girls between the ages of 10 and 15 through a series of STEM challenges. The program has reached 6,000 girls in its first two years.
In the U.K., we've partnered with Go4SET, a program developed by the Engineering Development Trust. Our employees serve as mentors for nine weeks, working with both boys and girls from ages 12 to 14 on STEM activities.
