The Ada Initiative Inc, based in San Francisco, CA, was a former not-for-profit organization that supported women in open technology and culture from 2011 to 2015. They provided events, codes of conduct, and ally skills training to promote gender diversity and combat harassment in these fields.
The Ada Initiative aimed to empower women by offering workshops such as the Ally Skills Workshop, which taught men how to support women in their workplaces and communities, and the Overcoming Impostor Syndrome class, designed to help women overcome feelings of inadequacy. They also advocated for the adoption of anti-harassment policies at conferences and organized AdaCamps, unconferences dedicated to increasing women's participation in various open technology and culture domains. Although the Ada Initiative closed in 2015, their work and resources remain available for adaptation and improvement.
