GIRL WITH GRIT® IN SCHOOLS NOW.

Since 2020, Girl with Grit, a 501c3 educational youth nonprofit, has offered in-person and remote workshops empowering youth and women.

CREATIVE CONSTRUCTION

Girl with Grit provides workshops and advocacy to help fill gaps many youths face when it comes to basic knowledge of construction, such as tools, safety, and the joy of building with your hands. Through fun, confidence building, and hands-on projects, Girl with Grit introduces these concepts along with areas of the workforce, like the skilled trades and design.

Students gain knowledge about careers in skilled trades and learn practical trade skills everyone needs to know in a creative, interactive, and empowering way. 

This class is a hit for anyone that likes to build, create, or design.
