About Dykes with Drills: 

Dykes With Drills is a nonprofit that empowers women with the tools to build. Through hands-on workshops, retreats, volunteer events, and community meet-ups, we create opportunities for individuals to connect, collaborate, and gain confidence using power tools. At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to fostering safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental spaces where learning and teaching thrive. We reclaim the word “dyke,” turning it from a symbol of oppression and exclusion into one of empowerment and pride. We use drills and other tools to create spaces that foster diversity, inclusion, and connection. Our community of women is intentionally inclusive, welcoming participants of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Together, we build not just structures but also a stronger, more connected community. Read more about Dykes with Drills here.
