About us

If you are just starting out in programming but need some help once in a while, this is for you. If you are an expert and want to work on your projects while helping others, this is for you. We want to inspire people to fall in love with programming, support and mentor each other in our python and Django journeys.

Everyone is welcome at PyLadies events. However, women and individuals from underrepresented groups are given priority if spots are limited. PyLadies is organization that engages with people of all experience levels and helps them learn in a safe, supportive environment free of gender bias. We have a Code of Conduct that will be enforced at all events.
