Women Build Classes

Skagit Habitat for Humanity is excited to introduce a new way to get involved in our mission of building homes, community, and hope.

Women Build Classes are hands-on workshops designed to empower women by building confidence and experience with both hand and power tools.

Each class focuses on a different set of skills for participants to practice, such as using power tools, measuring correctly, patching drywall, staining finished projects, etc. Classes are FREE and open to anyone over 18 interested in gaining hands-on experience in construction and home improvement.
