The Fayetteville Area Habitat for Humanity is looking to educate and empower women by teaching them skills in construction by launching their “Women’s Build 2024: Empowering Women, Building Homes” event. 

Women’s Build 2024 is set to inspire and empower women with two days of skill-building classes on March 14-15, followed by a volunteer day on March 16 to construct a future woman-owned home. 

Hosted by Fayetteville Area Habitat for Humanity (FAHFH) at 733 Bargain Street, this event offers practical workshops on home repair and construction, culminating in a hands-on volunteer construction opportunity at a Habitat construction site.

Participants will learn how to carry out common home repairs and build an Adirondack chair during the classes, which run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Tickets are $30 and include lunch and a commemorative T-shirt. Space is limited. 

Interested individuals are encouraged to call 910-483-0952 to reserve their spots. Experience in construction is not required to participate and all are welcome to attend.

“We’re excited to empower women through education and hands-on experience,” said Rick Callaway, the COO for FAHFH in a press release. “Women’s Build 2024 is about more than just building homes, it’s about building confidence and community.”
