About WOmen Build
Our goal with Women Build is to empower women to help families build strength, stability, and independence.
We at Habitat for Humanity of Butte County can provide opportunities for hands-on learning, and given these tools, women can succeed in changing their communities. Our Women Build events provide the opportunity for women to take a proactive step in serving their communities.
Women Build 2022 was a success! We had two incredible days of building sheds, digging ditches, laying pipe, installing sprinklers, and so much more! This event raised over $35,000 from our sponsors as well as the fundraising efforts of our participants! See photos, here.
Join us on May 20 & 21, 2023
Any woman age 16 years and up who wants to volunteer on our job site is invited to join us. No experience is necessary. Volunteers work under the guidance of construction professionals, and also alongside other volunteers and future Habitat homeowners.
Whether you are learning new skills or simply adding a few to your tool belt, this is a rewarding experience for all involved and improves the community that you share. Women Build is also a terrific way to involve your friends and family of all ages in crucial work with a lasting impact. You can also come alone and make new friends. The atmosphere is collaborative and friendly.
Women helping women sends a positive and powerful message.
