Women Build experienced construction volunteers!
 We need 3-4 more experienced women construction volunteers to help lead our volunteers at our upcoming Women Build project.
 
Women Build Site Hosts
This is a non-construction on-site volunteer position and we need 3-4 women to help us build the Women Build spirit at the build site every day.
 
Mugs for coffee break!
At our 10:00 break time at each of our sites, we use real mugs, not paper cups for our coffee to keep green! So if you've got some gently used mugs that are just taking up cabinet space, donate them to us for our thirsty workers!
