NAWIC Philadelphia Foundation Partners with NEST Nurtures to Inspire Next Generation of Women in Construction

The National Association of Women in Construction Philadelphia Foundation and NEST Nurtures will host the 13th annual MyWIC camp. It will bring real-world experiences and mentorship to girls in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area this summer. The free in-person construction camp for girls will provide education about the opportunities that exist in the construction industry, regardless of gender.

The camp, which stands for Mentoring Young Women in Construction, will take place up to three days per week throughout Philadelphia from July 6 to Aug. 10. Each day, the girls will learn about a specialty within the trades, including carpentry, sheet metal, safety training, electricians, finishing trades, steamfitters, plumbers and retail construction.

The camp is run by the NAWIC Philadelphia Foundation, which partnered with companies like NEST and Girls Inc. of Greater Philadelphia to make it a reality.
