Join us for Women Build throughout the entire month of March. Women Build is an annual program that celebrates and empowers women to learn new skills in a supportive environment during Women's History Month, while helping us address the affordable housing crisis in Southeastern Massachusetts What is Women Build? Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build program provides opportunities for women and all those looking to celebrate women to participate in homebuilding activities to help build stronger, safer communities. This program equips women to serve in their communities, enabling them to address local affordable homeownership challenges. Women Build provides a comfortable, inclusive environment for all to take proactive steps in serving their communities, while learning invaluable construction skills. Our volunteers gain knowledge and skills they can use to repair and maintain their own homes. Join the over 144,000 people and 17,000 corporate volunteers who have participated in Women Build events across the U.S since the program began in 1998. To participate, companies, organizations, and groups of all kinds can sponsor a team to join us for a private build day, anytime in the month of March to celebrate and empower women while supporting the affordable housing movement right in your local community. Please note, while this program is designed to engage and empower women, it is a fully gender-inclusive volunteer experience open to all. Join Women Build 2026! Sponsor or form a fundraising team to secure a Women Build Day at one of our current sites in Easton or Abington for a full day of construction, empowerment, and fun led by our Construction Project Manager, Sheri Green. No construction experience required, all volunteers welcome.
