Become a volunteer
Go Girl, Go for IT is a program run solely by volunteers as part of the Victorian ICT for Women network. Go Girl, Go for IT has the mission to change the under-representation of women working in STEM by inspiring and educating young girls about the myriad of career opportunities.
The Go Girl, Go for IT event is fully sponsored and run 100% by volunteers. There are two ways to volunteer, in stream and on the day.
On-The-Day Volunteer
Go Girl Guides, or On-The-Day Volunteers, help on the actual day of the Go Girl event to buddy up with speakers, coordinate and corral girls and overall help us guide an amazing and incredible experience for our sponsors and schools involved on the actual day.
The details are normally known closer to the event, so we recommend keeping an eye out on our social pages when this comes up.
We ask that you are available for us to onboard and train you on what you need to do, and be familiar with the site - as well as being involved on the day itself.
We always need more hands so if you know someone who knows someone - we’re here for it
Registrations to be involved as a Go Girl Guide for 2023 are open here!
P.S: you will first need to create a Vic ICT for Women member community account, then register as an on-the-day volunteer via the link
In Stream Volunteer
In stream volunteers help plan and shape the event from the start, and we need talent! Each stream plays an important part in executing a successful event. Volunteers dedicate their time and share from their experience in the creation, execution, and delivery of each Go Girl, Go for IT event.
Interested? Pick a stream below that best meets your existing skill or talent, or look into new avenues in which you’d like to grow.

Communications Stream
In this stream, we create content and visuals for online, web, press releases, interviews, below the line material and much more. We are also responsible for branding and merchandising.

We connect with individuals and companies who care about diversity, then work with our internal teams to ensure sponsor participation creates a fantastic experience for girls.
Account Management
The Account Management team maintains relationships with partner companies who agree to be a sponsor of the Go Girl Go for IT program.
