Feel Empowered. Make an Impact.
|
Women Build brings people together to create safe, affordable housing. This program is open to individuals, families, businesses, and community groups who want to make a difference for a women-led household in the community.
Volunteers receive on-site training and contribute in ways that match their comfort level. Some people build, others prepare meals, organize supplies, or support the project through fundraising. Every role helps move the home build forward. |
Get Involved on the Build Site
There is a critical need to support women-led households in Brown County facing a lack of access to affordable homebuying opportunities, and in some cases, inadequate housing conditions. Women Build is a way to make a tangible difference in our neighborhoods.
Volunteering on a build site offers a fantastic opportunity to engage coworkers, friends, and family while leaving a lasting impact on the community. Come solo and make new connections or sign up as a group to maximize your impact! Prior experience on a build site is not necessary. Our skilled volunteers and construction managers will teach you how to use tools and follow safety protocol.
Many volunteers return year after year because they value the chance to support a women-led family on the journey toward homeownership. Businesses and organizations often join as well, using Women Build to bring people together around a shared purpose.

Owning a home for us means permanency and a strong foundation to raise our children. This is the first home for any of us that is truly ours, and it gives us a sense of peace and comfort knowing that we won't have to rent anymore.
