Counselors for Computing (C4C) is a four-year campaign through which thousands of students -- especially girls -- are introduced to computing and encouraged to pursue education and careers in IT. The C4C campaign informs and equips school counselors  with up-to-date information and resources they can use to effectively encourage underrepresented groups to pursue education and careers in computing and IT.
