Pride Builds 2026: Building Our Community

Pride Build is an open invitation to LGBTQ+ community members and allies to come build something meaningful together. No prior construction experience is needed, and you don't have to complete an orientation before signing up; just show up ready to work and bring your rainbows with you. Come as you are. Build with us.

We provide all tools, personal protective equipment, and on-site training so you can jump right in. Lunch is on us, generously sponsored by Pizza Factory. Just let us know ahead of time if you have any dietary restrictions and we'll make sure you're taken care of.

Pride Build is inclusive of all people age 16+, with under 18 requiring guardian consent.

* Wear layers in case the weather changes during the day; you may want to bring a change of clothes. Long pants and close-toed shoes are required on the construction site. Choose shoes that are comfortable, since you will be on your feet for most of the day.
* Safety and protective equipment, including masks, gloves, goggles, earplugs, and hardhats, will be available on site. You are welcome to bring your own, but all personal equipment must pass an inspection by the site supervisor before use. You are also welcome to bring your own hand tools, or tool belt, though none of that is required. Any tools you bring must pass a visual inspection before use on site.

Getting there:
***Please park at the Haines Place Park and Ride at 440 12th Street rather than on the street near the site.***
From Sims Way, turn at the light onto Haines Place toward the park and ride. Turn left at the four-way stop onto 12th Street and enter the park and ride.
From the park and ride, the walk to the site is about a quarter mile: head north on Landes Street, turn west on 14th Street, then north on Landes Terrace. You will see the site straight ahead.

Please note that Habitat construction sites are closed to guests. Only registered participants will be allowed on the job site.

If you would like to participate in regularly scheduled activities on the Habitat jobsite, complete an application and orientation to receive the shift password.
