Girls With Tools was created in 2002 when adult volunteers noticed during a mixed
gender carpentry workshop that girls tended to relinquish their tools to boys who
were eager to “show them how” or “do it for them.”
Girls With Tools provides opportunities for girls age 8 - 15 to build a variety of
woodworking projects using basic hand and power tools in an all female
environment. Girls With Tools encourages safety, teamwork, cooperation, creative
thinking and time management. Girls are provided with information on future career
and educational opportunities.
Girls With Tools is a weekly, year-round after school program. The program meets at
the Zuni Avenue Peace Center. For more information call the YWCA at (520) 884-
7810 or email us.
