WOMEN BUILD

Join us for Women Build with Habitat for Humanity of Archuleta County— an event designed to bring women together to build more than just homes.

When you attend, you won’t just be helping on a jobsite — you’ll leave feeling fulfilled, empowered, and proud of the difference you made. You’ll gain hands-on knowledge, learn new skills, and walk away with a deeper understanding of the impact we can have when we work together.

Most importantly, you’ll build meaningful friendships and strengthen bonds with other incredible women on the jobsite. Women Build is about community, connection, and discovering what we’re capable of — together. We would like to encourage women in Local Leadership positions to create a team during our Women Build to help

The Women Build program is not about excluding men; it’s about including women and challenging them to help eliminate poverty housing in our community by providing a female-friendly work site that empowers women to take leadership roles and learn new skills.

Building together: You will find women of all ages, ethnicities, professions, and faiths serving together on the Women Build construction site. We hope you’ll join us!
