Building Valuable Habits

Habitat for Humanity North Central Georgia is powered by volunteers and their Women Build events provide the opportunity for women to take a proactive step in serving their communities.

Women Build opportunities are available across the U.S. Any woman who wants to learn how to build and construct a home is invited to join. No experience is necessary. Volunteers work under the guidance of construction professionals, and also alongside other volunteers and future Habitat homeowners. Whether you are learning new skills or simply adding a few to your tool belt, this is a rewarding experience for all involved and improves the community that you share.

Women Build is also a terrific way to involve your friends and family of all ages in crucial work with a lasting impact. Women helping women sends a positive and powerful message. You can also come alone, and make new friends. The atmosphere is collaborative and friendly.

Recently, students from Roswell pitched in. We asked Claire Kovich, a student at Blessed Trinity High School about her experience. 

"Habitat means so much to me! I love doing service work, so I jumped at the opportunity to be part of this amazing build! Participating in builds has given me the opportunity to meet so many amazing new people, especially the crew leaders. Everyone is super kind, welcoming, and willing to do whatever it takes to create a beautiful home for whoever is in need. Working alongside the homeowner while building the second-floor walls and cleaning up the yard for landscaping gave the work such a personal aspect. I truly enjoyed getting to help the Coulibaly family!"
