In the Making“One very important skill I’ve learned in the shop is self-advocacy, which has helped me in school and at home. When I wasn’t in the program I would shy away from asking for help and doing things for myself, but now with this program, I push myself a little more to get those answers that I need.”

Located in Manchester, NH, Girls At Work offers a variety of after school, summer camp, and vacation programs for girls aged 8-18, many of whom are faced with economic hardship. In addition, they custom-develop team build events for homeschool groups, businesses, youth organizations, non-profit, women’s, and philanthropic projects-aimed at sharpening critical thinking skills and fostering teamwork and connection.
