WOMEN BUILD 2 DATES: OCTOBER 9-12, 2024 IN THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY!
Habitat-Spokane is SO EXCITED to host you for Women Build 2! This is a hands-on opportunity to dig into the home-building process and partner with the individuals working hard in our Homeownership Program. The only skill you need is a desire to help families on their homeownership journey — no experience necessary!
Gender equity isn’t limited to just women: ALL are welcome. Habitat is excited to meet you at the job site to make fundamental contributions to the women in our community as we build one another up and build affordable homes!
