Women Build | Habitat for Humanity of Orange County

About Women Build

Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build program recruits, educates, and inspires women to build, fundraise, and advocate for stable and affordable homes in our communities. Women Build volunteers and fundraisers from all walks of life have come together to build stronger, safer communities. Habitat affiliates across the country participate in National Women Build Week, in conjunction with International Women’s Day on March 8, to challenge women to devote at least one day to the effort of creating affordable housing. Orange Habitat also hosts various other Women Build volunteer shifts and events throughout the calendar year.

For questions regarding Women Build, contact Krissy at kdunn@orangehabitat.org.

Volunteering with Women Build is a fun way to connect with other women who are passionate about affordable housing in Chapel Hill. No construction experience is necessary to join us; you’ll learn everything you need to on-site. People of any gender identity over the age of 15 are welcome to join us for Women Build shifts.

On-site volunteer opportunities for Women Build typically fall in mid-October, early March, and early May. Click here to sign up for our Mega Building Bash on May 11!
