Brooklyn nonprofit teaches girls about male-dominated fields

In a Sunset Park warehouse, these girls are suiting up and getting to work. We expose girls 6 to 17 to careers within male-populated industries. They learn electrical, plumbing, engineering, welding, sheet metal, carpentry. The founder of Tools and Tiaras, Judalyn Cassidy, says the organization was inspired by her own experience as a union plumber. I remembered when I was a little girl, I felt invincible, and I wanted to be Wonder Woman and a lawyer in that. And I remembered how invincible you feel until the world tells you that you can't. And I figured if I'm able to catch girls really young, from six years old, when they have that, and they'll never lose it by putting tools in their hands. Through summer camps, monthly workshops, and pretty soon after school programs, the goal is to expose girls to career options they might not have otherwise considered. It's one of those things, there's no college debt. Right. You could earn a college degree while doing some of these union apprenticeships and you get the best set of health care. So join a union who doesn't want to learn how to master tools. Hey, she's got a point. Whether you come to build community or try something new. Well, they're already empowered, but we give them the capability to know that they can use their power by teaching them that jobs don't have genders. In Brooklyn, Julia Burns, News 12.
