What if all girls had access to a safe, empowering space where they could learn not just for grades, but to discover who they are and how they can change the world?

​

The inspiration came from a high school dorm in the U.S., where a group of young women lived and learned together—supporting one another, growing in confidence, and realizing their collective power. That environment, rooted in sisterhood and self-discovery, transformed lives.

Years later, in Trenton, NJ, classrooms echoed with students’ voices saying they didn’t feel seen or safe in their schools or communities. Though from different backgrounds, their stories were strikingly similar. HomeWorks was founded to reimagine what education and care could look like—by bringing the transformative experience of a residential, identity-affirming learning community to the students who need it most.
