Fifteen Girl Scouts in El Paso are participating in the SHEBuilds 'n Drills Workshop, where they will learn essential home repair skills and emergency response techniques. This initiative, part of Rebuilding Together El Paso's SHEBuilds project, aims to equip young girls with the confidence and knowledge to handle common household issues, such as leaky faucets and electrical principles. The workshop not only promotes practical skills but also encourages interest in technical careers. By learning these skills, participants can save money on home repairs, fostering independence and problem-solving abilities.

Key Details: • Workshop duration: One week, focusing on home repair and emergency response. • Skills taught include fixing leaky faucets, woodwork, drywall patching, and basic electrical principles. • Participants can save money by performing repairs themselves instead of hiring professionals.
