Our Mission
We are here to dismantle not only stereotypes in the garage but in society. By pairing young women with experienced industry professionals to restore and rebuild donated vehicles, we create a powerful space for technical education, mentorship, and personal growth.
In a world where many young women silently struggle with anxiety, depression, and the pressure to conform, we offer something bold: You belong. You are capable. You can forge your own path, tools in hand, heart wide open.
Through storytelling, collaboration, and community, Gear Her Up isn’t just about rebuilding cars. It’s about rebuilding confidence, purpose, and hope. One build, one story, one future at a time.
Our Vision
We envision a future where young women thrive in the automotive industry, leading with innovation and confidence, and inspiring others to follow in their footsteps.
