What is Women Build
|
Each year, teams of women (and a handful of men) combine their fundraising efforts and volunteer build days to make another Habitat home possible. The 14th Women Build house in nearly complete and our 2019 campaign is set to start in May! If you are interested in joining Women Build, sign-up for email updates here.

Women Build teams
Women Build teams give you the opportunity to work closely with others, build your skills and networks, and help us work more effectively towards our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Teams can consist of just about any group of people interested in participating: corporate, faith, family, friends, interest groups, neighborhood, skills-based, students, young professionals, or however else you like to get together.
You can create your own team (which can be closed, or open to the public), or join one of our public teams. Teams set their own fundraising and building goals, and together we build a house! Team goals should grow with the size of your team. We generally recommend a goal of $200 raised per person and once 5-6 people join a team, you can schedule a team-building day.

Women Build committee
The Women Build committee is the core group of dedicated volunteers that work with Habitat staff to set goals, strategy, and processes. More than just an "ideas committee", committee members must also be dedicated to implementing processes, performing tasks, and supporting teams to achieve goals.
Each individual on the committee can focus their efforts based on their interest, skills, and availability. Some focuses for the Women Build committee include: advocacy, event planning, liaison to partner organizations, outreach, research, promotions, photography, social media, volunteer coordination, recruitment and more.
