Empowering Women with Construction Skills
Skagit Habitat for Humanity is excited to launch our new Women Build Classes — free, hands-on workshops designed to empower women with practical construction and home maintenance skills.
Participants will gain confidence using hand and power tools, learn essential techniques for home projects, and complete fun DIY activities that bring their new skills to life! Whether you’re a beginner or looking to sharpen your abilities, these classes offer a supportive space to learn, build, and connect with other women in your community.
This year, we are excited to launch our first Women Build Class, Power Tools 101: Building a DIY Planter Box!
