Home Improvement Workshop

Big skills. Real projects. Stronger homes — together.

On April 25th, at the New Market Skills Center, located at 7299 New Market St. SW in Tumwater, Rebuilding Together Thurston County is opening up a new way for neighbors to learn, practice, and grow confidence in home repair and maintenance skills.

These monthly workshops are designed for two groups at once:

• Volunteers who want hands-on opportunities and guidance to upskill (and bring those skills back to future RTTC projects).
  

• Community members who want to learn practical, doable skills to care for their own homes—one project at a time.

  
  

When

The first workshop will be held on April 25th, time TBD.

What We’ll Work On

Each workshop will focus on real-world, confidence-building projects and home maintenance basics—skills you can use right away. Topics may include:

• Landscaping and yard care

• Painting and surface prep

• Fence repair

• Accessibility upgrades (like installing grab bars)

• Home safety improvements (smoke detectors and CO detectors)

• And more as the schedule comes together

  
  

No matter your starting point, there’s a place for you here—whether you’re learning the basics or building on what you already know.

Why We’re Doing This

Safe, healthy homes aren’t built in a single day — they’re preserved through ongoing care, shared knowledge, and steady support.

These workshops create a welcoming space to:

• Practice skills with guidance and encouragement

• Learn alongside neighbors

• Build comfort with tools and materials

• Strengthen the volunteer community that powers RTTC’s work year-round
