On Monday, July 31, we joined Lakes Region Community College and T-TEN who were hosting the Girls Inc. Garage Young Women’s Leadership summer camp group for a fun educational event. These girls traveled around the state of New Hampshire to get exposure to many different career fields and activities that are aimed to educate and excite them about their future.
The girls ran through seven stations with some basic auto skills, including how to change a tire, wipers and bulbs, and how to identify items under the hood. NHADA Bronze Partner Sullivan Tire talked all about tires. NH State Trooper Nicole Stone from the NH State Police led each group through a seatbelt challenge race, and Detective Sergeant Richard J. Perreault III had a table set up from the DARE program. The Women in the Field group from Toyota Boston Region had the last station with a hydrogen fuel cell Toyota Mirai education session.
In addition to a day full of fun, these summer campers did not leave empty-handed. The campers enjoyed lunch and some Jordan’s Ice Cream. Irwin Automotive Group hooked the campers up with Girls Inc. t-shirts and safety glasses, and T-TEN provided some cool pink totes.
We were happy to support such a great event and look forward to many more in the future!
