Why Women Building America Exists
The construction industry is facing a significant demographic shift. With nearly half of the workforce retiring within the next decade, WBA sees an opportunity to:
Introduce young women to stable, high-demand careers
Strengthen local communities by building a more diverse and resilient workforce
Shift industry culture toward greater inclusion and innovation
Their approach blends practical skill-building with long-term career empowerment.
How Our Donation Fits Their Mission
Our donation supports three pillars of Women Building America’s work:
1. Hands‑On Skill Building for Girls
Their construction camps and youth programs thrive on tactile, confidence-building activities. Blooming plants + soil give girls a chance to:
Practice tool use (trowels, measuring, cutting, layout)
Learn site prep, soil handling, and safe lifting
See immediate results — a huge psychological boost for young learners
This aligns perfectly with WBA’s goal of helping girls feel capable, competent, and excited about building things.
2. Community Beautification Projects
Many WBA chapters participate in community service builds. Your donation can be used for:
Entryway planters at a community build
Beautifying a jobsite or learning space
Demonstrating how construction intersects with landscape design, environmental stewardship, and placemaking
How WBA Fits into the Broader Landscape
WBA is part of a growing national movement to support women in construction. While other organizations — such as Women Construction Owners & Executives (WCOE) — focus on business owners and executives, WBA is distinct in its youth-centered, hands-on, workforce pipeline approach.
