What is Women Build?
Women Build is a movement that unites and empowers women to collectively make an impact on affordable housing in the communities where we work and live. This fall for several weeks at a time, we’ll be hosting a special series of build days celebrating the strength of women. While Women Build is focused on the inclusion of women in the work of building homes, the initiative does not exclude volunteers of any gender or gender identity nor does it promote discrimination of any kind. Women Build has wrapped up for 2024. Thank you everyone for an incredible spring and fall build season! Our next Women Build will take place in fall 2025. Details will be posted here as they become available.
How to Join
You can join Women Build by volunteering, sponsoring, or both! All volunteer days during Women Build will take place at our South Portland construction site. Volunteers are asked to contribute to our $60,000 fundraising goal either through their individual fundraising efforts or through a corporate sponsorship. Not interested in volunteer slots but want to get involved? Become a sponsor to still contribute to the cause!
