Fifteen Girl Scouts in El Paso are spending the week learning how to repair and handle home emergencies through the annual SHEBuilds ‘n Drills Workshop.

Building Confidence and Skills

The workshop, part of Rebuilding Together El Paso’s SHEBuilds project, teaches girls basic home maintenance and safety skills, including how to act during home flooding, fires, and how to fix appliances.

Christina Zuniga with SHEBuilds said the repairing side of the workshop teaches Girl Scouts basic repair skills like leaky faucets, woodwork, and patching drywall, which can help the girls and their families save money.

Executive Director Roger de Moor stated that the goal of the workshop is to build confidence, encourage problem-solving, and inspire interest in technical careers.
