A heartfelt thank you to the Rolfe and Rumford Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation for their recent support to launch our after school pilot program this January.

"Placing a power tool in the hands of a young girl takes empowerment to an all new level."
Elaine Hamel, Executive Director

Girls at Work, Inc. is a New Hampshire non-profit organization dedicated to empowering girls who are socially or economically disadvantaged. Our approach is unique. We teach girls woodworking, design and carpentry skills to challenge their minds and lift their spirits. Girls at Work promotes physical, intellectual and social-emotional development through a challenging and supportive atmosphere in classes held at the organization’s workshop and ‘on the road’ at programs and summer camps throughout New Hampshire.

Girls at Work seeks grant funding and donations to support scholarships that sponsor the girls' participation. Recent funding cuts are making it incredibly difficult to provide programs like ours to those who need it most. Please support us by making a donation to Girls at Work; put a power tool in the hands of a young girl and watch her soar!
