Women's Leadership Build 2025
In Hayward, volunteers at the Women's Leadership Build did a lot of building up at Sequoia Grove—building second floors and rooftops, while uplifting the power of women and allies to lead positive change in the community. The result? Weeks' worth of construction work achieved in a single day, and lifetimes of impact made long after.
