Learn DIY Skills to Save Money, Gain Confidence, and Care for Your Home

This 6-week, hands-on workshop series teaches homeowners how to handle common home repairs and improvements themselves—no prior experience required. 

Each 3-hour class introduces practical projects and repair techniques that can save you thousands on contractor fees, help you feel more confident in your space, and keep your home safe, functional, and comfortable. 

At the end of each workshop, participants will receive detailed handouts to help guide future projects and recommendations for tools, materials, and supplies to purchase, when necessary. 

Whether you're a first-time homeowner or have lived in your home for years, this series will give you the skills, knowledge, and hands-on practice you need to be more capable and empowered for years to come.
