The Home Depot Foundation
To help address the skilled trades labor shortage in our country and bridge the opportunity gap for women in the trades industry, The Home Depot Foundation and Girl Scouts of the USA are partnering to introduce girls to construction activities and career opportunities. Together, we are piloting a program that will inspire and prepare girls in grades 8-12 to pursue careers in the skilled trades by providing them with hands-on experience and educational and professional guidance.
