This Ones for the Gals

This One's for the Gals empowers girls in grades K-12 by providing hands-on career exploration, industry exposure, and workforce development experiences designed to broaden their understanding of postsecondary and career opportunities. The organization connects students with leaders across construction, energy, manufacturing, maritime, transportation, STEM, and skilled trades through Women in Industry Expos, Girls' Day Out workshops, field trips, and interactive demonstrations. TOFTG also develops educational resources, including children's books that highlight real women in industry roles, and partners with schools, community organizations, and industry employers to ensure students - especially those in underrepresented and economically disadvantaged communities - have access to high-quality career awareness programs. The purpose of these activities is to increase confidence, expand career pathways, and support the future workforce pipeline.
