BuildHER ATL
Description
WHO? Women Under Construction Network (WUCNetwork). WUCNetwork is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization created to provide programs and services that support underserved women, their children, and the elderly most in need in and around Birmingham, AL metro. Our Mission: REPAIRING HOMES, BUILDING WOMEN, CHANGING LIVES!
WHY BuildHER ATL? Women are builders by nature — of families, communities, and futures. Yet, too often, the women doing the building need rebuilding themselves. If you put a tool in a woman’s hand, not only can she repair her home, she can fix her community and build the world.
HOW? BuildHER ATL will bring together volunteers, dynamic speakers, on-site resource partners, vendors, as well as Greek and civic organizations uniting for service, sisterhood, and empowerment.
WHEN?August 1, 2026 | 9:30am - 3:00pm
WHERE? Emma Darnell Aviation Museum & Conference Center (3900 Aviation Cir NW, Atlanta, GA 30336) | Accessible parking and public transportation
WHAT makes BuildHER ATL unique? Unlike typical women’s empowerment events that focus solely on social and emotional growth, BuildHER ATL offers a holistic experience that integrates personal development, emotional and spiritual wellness, and hands-on home repair skills. It's a rare blend of inspiration and practical empowerment—equipping women not just to heal and grow, but also to build and repair, both figuratively and literally.
