Rosie's
Girls Santa Monica is based on a
national program
designed to build self-esteem, leadership and
physical confidence in middle school girls through an exploration of
trades and non-traditional activities. During the one-week spring
and three-week summer day camps, girls learn and apply skills in
carpentry, welding, and other technical trades. Our award-winning
curriculum (California Park & Recreation Society "Best of the Best"
Award winner) also includes creative expression (mask-making,
furniture design & journal writing), physical
challenges (kayaking & ropes course) and other unique experiences (role-playing as
City Council members at City Hall & self-defense with the Santa Monica
Police Department's D-Tac Team)! Girls develop critical thinking
skills as they explore issues such as gender roles, body image, and
social pressure. |

Why Trades?
Whether in a shop or
applied to "real world" projects, trades activities
offer an unusual and especially powerful vehicle for
girls to develop a broader sense of themselves and
their capabilities. Trades activities
challenge girls to learn self-reliance, expand their
math and science skills, develop new areas of
physical confidence, expand the range of
careers they might envision for themselves, and push
past preconceived limitations. |
