Rosie The Riveter Trust

Rosie the Riveter Trust is the official nonprofit partner of Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park located in Richmond, California. We honor the resilience, sacrifice, and work ethic of people from all backgrounds who worked on the home front.

Through historic preservation and educational programming, we inspire future generations to learn from history and apply those lessons today. In addition to sharing stories and history preservation, we also aim to inspire youth. Our flagship program, Rosie’s Service Corps, provides middle and high school students with hands-on projects that develop leadership, teamwork, and technical skills. In efforts to support the modern trades workforce, we offer our Rosie the Riveter Certification Award to construction companies.

This aims to be a beacon for women considering the trades as a career choice and a badge of honor for construction companies to showcase their commitment to an inclusive workforce!
