What Is Women Build?

Women Build is a national Habitat for Humanity program that empowers women to take the lead on the construction site. Participants learn hands-on building skills while raising funds and awareness for affordable housing.

No construction experience is needed — just a willingness to learn, work hard, and have fun alongside other women who care about their community. Our skilled site supervisors guide every step of the process.

What to Expect

  1. Orientation
    Arrive at the build site and get a safety briefing and overview of the day's tasks.
  2. Hands-On Building
    Work alongside other volunteers on framing, siding, painting, or other construction tasks under expert supervision.
  3. Lunch Break
    Enjoy a provided lunch and connect with fellow volunteers and Habitat staff.
  4. Wrap-Up
    Celebrate the day's progress and learn about ways to stay involved with Habitat.

Fundraise to Participate

Women Build participants are encouraged to raise a minimum of $250 in donations to support the build. We provide fundraising tools and tips to make it easy. Every dollar goes directly toward building materials and program costs.
