Rosie’s Girls 2023
For twenty-one years, Rosie’s Girls Camps have helped girls and gender non-conforming youth in 6th-8th grades develop grit, create connections, and expand their sense of possibilities through hands-on exploration and learning of skills relevant to the building and welding trades. The program, which utilizes multiple STEM concepts, provides an important window into careers considered non-traditional for women and is delivered in a safe, welcoming space where girls can break down barriers, take positive risks, and try new things. The program can also support school Career Pathways objectives and contribute to student Personalized Learning Plans. This year is The Friendly Inn’s 3 year hosting Rosie’s Girls! The participants ended the summer with smiles, new hobbies and interests, and excitement for what is to come new summer!
