- $150,000 spent. Women in Industry Expos and Girls' Day Out Workshops: TOFTG hosted multiple large-scale Women in Industry Expos and Girls' Day Out Workshops across the Coastal Bend, Rio Grande Valley, and Greater Houston regions. These hands-on events introduced middle and high school girls to careers in construction, energy, manufacturing, maritime, STEM, and skilled trades through interactive demonstrations, tool challenges, safety activities, and mentorship from women currently working in these roles. More than 3,000 students participated in Expos and workshops during the year, including many from underserved and economically disadvantaged communities. These programs focused on increasing confidence, building skills, and expanding understanding of career pathways traditionally underrepresented by women.
- $15,000 spent. Children's Books and Educational Resources: TOFTG developed and distributed educational materials to support early career awareness, including children's books featuring real women working in industry roles. These books were provided to schools, families, and community organizations at no cost and were used during classroom visits, career days, and Girl's Day Out workshops. The books are designed to show younger students relatable role models and introduce them to careers in manufacturing, energy, construction, transportation, and other technical fields. Thousands of students and families benefited from these resources, helping broaden career imagination at an early age.
- $10,577 spent. Outreach, Industry Partnerships, and School Engagement: TOFTG worked with school districts, community groups, and industry employers to expand access to career exploration opportunities. This outreach included classroom presentations, field trips, career readiness discussions, interactive tool demonstrations, and partnership events to connect students with women working in high-demand industries. TOFTG also coordinated tool donations and learning equipment to support hands-on learning. These efforts strengthened relationships with schools and helped ensure students - especially those from economically disadvantaged areas - received high-quality career exposure.
