Goal
Help support Tools & Tiaras Boston LLC, the very first regional Chapter of the acclaimed NYC-based nonprofit, Tools & Tiaras Inc. We plan to make this a wild success, and are asking for your support in helping further the organization’s mission to show our girls that “Jobs Don’t Have Genders™”.
Tools & Tiaras Inc. was founded in 2017 by history-making plumber, tradeswoman activist, and one of CNN’s Champions for Change, Judaline Cassidy. I have taken up the charge of extending T&T’s impact to the Boston area, where we will serve girls and young women (ages 6-17), through hands-on summer programming for girls, and monthly workshops for girls and women.
T&T's fun-meets-education programming is centered on the skilled construction trades with the goal of advancing girls’ interest in pursuing non-traditional careers in S.T.E.A.M. professions, which include all aspects of the construction industry. To do that, we’re going to put tools directly into girls’ hands, helping them realize just how capable they are.
Our first-ever Tools & Tiaras Boston Summer Program for girls age 6-10 will be hosted Saturday, August 13th at the Wilson Brothers HVAC location, 35 Lomar Park, Peperrell, MA 01463 from 10am to 3pm.
The day will include:
- Signature T&T Plumbing Workshop - “Leaky Linda” led by a woman plumber, the first at her company
- Lunch
- “Meet & Greet” with a local hero, a woman firefighter from the community
- Virtual boxing class
To ensure that this first program - and all going forward - are accessible to all girls, they will be free of charge. In order for us to do that, we need funding to cover all programming costs - i.e. materials, safety gear for the girls, lunch, stipend for all instructors. We will need many more dollars to make T&T Boston a powerful machine that keeps doing more for even more girls.
Every dollar matters. Every connection matters. Every form of support matters.
