Huge shoutout to David Kietzman from Momentum Solutions Team for facilitating our 2024 staff retreat with the LEGO® Serious Play® model!🙌🏽 Our team had a blast building our own LEGO® models in response to David's questions about our individual passions and organizational goals.🧱 Learning about our own strengths, personalities, and shared organizational visions allowed us to grow closer as a team. Thank you, David, for helping our team grow stronger and reflect on all the hard work and dedication we individually bring to DIY Girls! We look forward to carrying the lessons and inspiration we collectively learned and felt during this retreat to fuel our work in uplifting our community. Special thanks to the Discovery Cube, Southern California for hosting us in their space!✨ #DIYGirlsRetreat #community #nonprofit #losangeles #inspired #empowered

Huge thank you to the Junior Achievement of Southern California team for hosting our DIY Girls participants and alumni at Finance Park yesterday, and a special shoutout to the wonderful group of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power volunteers who took time out of their busy schedules to lead our group through JA's financial literacy simulation!✨ Our group had a blast researching, budgeting, and shopping based on the scenarios – including income, marital status, and credit score – they were randomly assigned. Through this experience, our young participants and alumni got to experience firsthand what it takes to manage their own money and how personal situations can affect their budget. Learning about credit scores, loans, and banking helped our group feel less intimidated by budgeting and personal finances.🏦 Thank you, Junior Achievement of Southern California and LADWP, for helping us demystify personal finances and empower our participants and alumni to make smarter financial decisions! 🙌🏽 #FinancePark #LADWP #DIYGirls #LosAngeles #nonprofit #empowerment #FinancialLiteracy #KnowledgeIsPower

Our team spent the morning volunteering at the 20th Anniversary Power Women, Power Tools® build in San Fernando, hosted by Habitat for Humanity International LA and supported by City National Bank. We are so grateful for the incredible work Habitat LA is doing and thrilled to be a part of this transformative event. 🎨🔨 This year’s theme, “20 Years of CommUnity,” truly resonated with us as we joined 200 volunteers in repairing and beautifying homes for six local families. It was empowering to see female executives and leaders from diverse backgrounds come together to make a difference in our community. 💕 Thank you, Habitat LA, for organizing this uplifting annual event and for the opportunity to support and paint alongside such amazing women. Together, we’re building a stronger, more beautiful community! 🏡✨ #PowerWomenPowerTools #20YearsOfCommUnity #DIYGirls #HabitatLA #CommunityBuilding #WomenEmpowerment #DIYGirls #STEAMPowered
