Middle school and high school-aged girls from the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area will attend a complimentary in-person construction camp this summer to provide real-world experience, mentorship and education about the opportunities that exist in the construction industry, regardless of gender.
The camp is called MyWIC, which stands for Mentoring young Women In Construction, and will take place two days per week in Philadelphia between July 12 and Aug. 17. MyWIC is run by the NAWIC Philadelphia Foundation, which partnered with companies like NEST, a facilities management company, to make it a reality.
“Many girls are unaware that a career in construction can be extremely fun and financially rewarding,” said Mary Gaffney, NAWIC Philadelphia Foundation treasurer. “Through the MyWIC camp, we work to promote construction awareness as well as leadership and team-building skills, build self-confidence, self-esteem and boost their overall self-image.”
The day camps will take place at several locations throughout the Philadelphia area during the months of July (12, 13, 19, 20, 26, 27) and August (2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17).
