American Heart Association

https://www.heart.org/en/

The six cardiologists who founded the American Heart Association in 1924 would be amazed.

From humble beginnings, the AHA has grown into the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. A shared focus on cardiovascular health unites our more than 33 million volunteers and supporters as well as our more than 3,400 employees.

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer worldwide, and stroke ranks second globally. Even when those conditions don’t result in death, they cause disability and diminish quality of life. We want to see a world free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.

Our size and scope let us have real impact. We have invested more than $4.1 billion in research, more than any U.S. nonprofit organization.

App Camp For Girls

http://appcamp4girls.com
App Camp For Girls seeks to address the gender imbalance in technology professions by inspiring middle-school age girls, transgender and gender non-conforming youth with a broad introduction to the process of app development, from brainstorming and designing ideas to building and pitching their unique apps. We believe that the experience of creating an app in one week can spark the enthusiasm that will propel youth to pursue further tech education.
 
In addition, App Camp For Girls is a place for women and other underrepresented genders in the tech community to come together, network, and provide mutual support in their endeavors to advance in the field of software development. We encourage and support our volunteers to continue their own education in programming and design.
