Check this out. In Vermont, girls are being trained in welding as part of a three week camp, Rosie’s Girls, and are talking about how much it’s raising their self-esteem and confidence.
"If I can do this, I can do that, too," one girl says in this video.
Looks like these girls, along with the women of the YWCA National Capital Area’s WAWIT program–and others placing women in nontraditional careers–are truly welding a new world for women in more ways than one.
To learn more about similar programs The Women’s Foundation is supporting in our region, check out our posts on Goodwill of Greater Washington’s female construction and environmental services programs.
Then, join us in welding a new world for women by investing in and expanding strategies and programs like these here in the Washington metropolitan region.
Come on, you know you want to. All the cool girls are doing it.
