CWC Women Empower Young Women at First Ever Camp NAWIC

Coakley & Williams Construction (CWC), NAWIC (National Association of Women in Construction) members, and CWC interns volunteered at the first-ever Camp NAWIC in collaboration with ABC Greater Washington at Thomas Edison High School of Technology in Silver Spring, MD. Camp NAWIC has a mission to expose young women to the possibilities of a future in construction. The CWC team introduced high school girls to the preconstruction process and assisted them with a mock bid day activity. It's always exciting to share the passion for construction with potential future leaders of the industry, and show them how much more lies beyond the classroom.
