For Women, by Women
Skagit Habitat for Humanity is excited to continue its Women Build Classes, hands-on workshops designed to empower women by building confidence with both hand and power tools. These classes are completely free and accessible to everyone in our community, creating a safe and welcoming space for women to come together, learn, and grow their skills in construction and home-maintenance.
Building Skills Through Hands-On Projects
Earlier this year, Skagit Habitat hosted two classes focused on building cedar planter boxes. Participants learned how to measure and cut lumber, safely use a chop saw and drill, and assemble their own planter boxes from start to finish.
Last week, a mix of returning participants and newcomers took on a new challenge: building a wall-mounted key holder. In this class, participants gained experience using a miter saw, drill, and wood glue to create a sturdy, practical key holder.
Whether you’re brand new to tools or looking to sharpen your existing skills, Women Build Classes offer a supportive, encouraging environment to learn and try something new.
