“We felt comfortable enough with the after-school program that we coordinated directly with the school around pickup. Everything about the process with Brittany felt straightforward and safe, which matters a lot as a parent.”

Meet the founder

Brittany Gruber

Founder · Girlhood Collective

I spent a decade in relationship work in annual sales, managing partnerships for a regional family nonprofit, and serving many nonprofits in a volunteer capacity. Years earlier, I built recruiting pipelines for engineering and clinical teams, which taught me that outreach is just trust-building with a different job title. I've spent just as long substitute teaching K–8, which allowed to get a glimpse into many pockets of our city.

What began as a single workshop has grown into a community hub of events, workshops, and relationship building: makers, teachers, leaders, and learners, all in the same room. Connecting the dots, it turns out, is my super power.

“It takes a village. Thanks for being a part of mine.”

Why this is personal

Diagnosed with ADHD and autism later in life, I know what it's like to navigate a world that wasn't built for the way your brain works best.

That journey fuels the work. I love helping others understand themselves, embrace their strengths, and advocate for what they need, and helping organizations learn what it really means to be genuinely inclusive.
