We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to expanding career awareness for girls across construction, energy, manufacturing, and maritime industries before career decisions are made. At This One’s for the Gals®, we introduce girls to careers they may not otherwise have the opportunity to explore. From skilled trades to STEM and everything in between, we help girls see what’s possible and imagine themselves in careers they may have never considered.

We carry out our mission by partnering with schools, workforce development programs, and industry partners — partnering with schools, workforce organizations, and industry leaders to create meaningful career awareness experiences. By sharing the stories and experiences of women already working in these industries, we help the next generation find inspiration, confidence, and the courage to pursue careers they once thought were out of reach.

While we are based in South Texas, our work extends wherever there’s an opportunity to support and inspire girls. From classrooms and career fairs to workshops and industry events, we meet girls where they are and open doors to careers they may have never considered. Whether you’re an industry partner, educator, or community member, we’d love to connect and create meaningful, lasting impact together.

The A Day in the Life bilingual children's book series by This One's for the Gals® introduces young readers to careers across Skilled Trades to STEM through stories featuring women in industry. Each book inspires children to explore future possibilities while supporting our mission of connecting students with real-world career experiences. We're continuing to expand the series and welcome industry partners interested in sponsoring future titles that showcase careers within their workforce!
