What is our mission and vision for She Built This City?

She Built This City’s mission is to provide industry-disruptive programming that sparks interest and builds pathways to lucrative careers in the skilled trades for youth, women, and marginalized communities. Our vision is to dismantle barriers and stigmas in traditionally male-dominated industries through innovative, sustainable practices that prepare us for a future of jobs that have yet to be created. 

Breaking Down Barriers

At She Built This City we're incredibly grateful for the support we receive from The Lowe’s Foundation. Thanks to their generous contributions, we've been able to provide skilled trades programs that help prepare students for their careers. Hear one of our program participant’s perspectives on how She Built This City and The Lowes Foundation have empowered her to use the skills she learned and gain the confidence to showcase her new abilities. With the help of our foundational training and support from partners like The Lowes Foundation, we're breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for women in the construction and trade industries.
