PROGRAMS
Through the workshops that we host throughout the year, girls gain the knowledge and skills to build with their own hands. With our focus on careers in the traditionally male-dominated fields of construction, trades, and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), as well as real estate and entrepreneurship, we offer middle and high school girls the tools they need to build a future they can be proud of.
