We prepare women and gender-expansive people for careers in construction — and we keep older adults safe in the homes they love. The students who learn here become the crews who build for our community.
We envision a world of gender equity in the construction industry, where all people can access the opportunity to renovate their lives.
Hope Renovations builds futures and transforms lives with a dual mission: preparing underemployed women and gender expansive individuals for construction careers and helping older adults age in place.
Program 01
Thirteen weeks of hands-on instruction in carpentry, electrical, plumbing, drywall, safety, and more. Designed for women and gender-expansive folks ready to enter living-wage careers in construction.
Program 02
We complete small to mid-sized home repairs and modifications for adults 55+ and those living with a disability, so they can stay safe and independent in their homes. These jobs provide our students the opportunity to apply and practice their skills in a real world setting.
Every day I learn something new, and I’m so grateful to Hope Renovations for this opportunity and to REDesign.build for welcoming me and teaching me so much.
It gave me a start at a new career in a season of my life where I thought I’d be confined by my professional background. It opened the door to a completely new career.
They taught me how to negotiate a competitive salary, build my resume, and soar through an interview. At the end of the program I had multiple job offers and had the opportunity to choose where I wanted to work.
Hope has been a God-send. On a fixed income, it’s impossible to tackle the issues my home is facing alone.
With Hope, I was able to intern at Messer Construction and then obtain a full time employment after my internship was over. Hope literally helped me pave my new life.
Every dollar funds training and keeps services affordable. $50 can purchase a grab bar; $500 sponsors a week of training for one student on the construction site.
