MISSION
​Tools & Tiaras Inc. is on a mission to show girls (ages 6-14) that Jobs Don’t Have Genders™. We do this through hands-on monthly workshops and summer camps that are centered on the skilled construction trades. Our pioneering - Expose. Inspire. Mentor. - programming shatters stereotypes and changes the prevailing "women's work” narrative to one that is expansive and opportunity-filled. We empower girls with the skills and self-confidence they need to see limitless possibilities for themselves so they can build and shape the world they envision.

VISION
Is it, or would it be a radical notion that when you require the services of an electrician, carpenter, plumber or even an auto mechanic that it would be a woman? Our vision is to make these occupations, and others like it, accessible and approachable for girls.
In an ever-evolving world, where technology is changing the way we perceive almost everything. Learning a skilled trade is intercontinental, once acquired you can seek employment anywhere. We need to get more girls and women into the construction industry.
At Tools & Tiara's, we are passionate about creating an avenue where young girls can showcase their talents and succeed non-traditional roles, our belief is that the future of the construction industry depends on the ability to get all capable hands on deck and harness the talents of young girls and women especially in this field. Working hand in hand with education providers, research institutes and businesses, we hope we can encourage more young girls to jump on this wagon.
We hope to provide access to women who have done it before, making available learning programs and practical tools thus creating a network of women who share the same passion and goal. We know we stand a better chance at succeeding when we are united in the pursuit of a common goal.
