It’s with deep regret that we are CANCELING the Veteran’s Day Women’s Workshop due to the current increase in COVID-19 cases in Douglas County.

If you are interested in receiving an update on workshop events in 2021, please sign up below for updates.
Join us this Veteran's Day for a special introduction to tiny home building for women. This event will be a day of women empowering each other while learning new skills as we come together as a community to help build a tiny home that will support someone in need.
Operation Tiny Home is inviting ten women to experience an introduction to tiny home building during a 1-day hands-on skills training workshop in Oakland, OR.
The workshop will focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and empowering female-oriented learning environment that will introduce carpentry and construction basics in tiny home building. Participants can expect to learn how to safely and effectively use hand and power tools, get accurate measurements, read and understand blueprints, and learn about wall frame construction.
Our goal is that everyone has fun while also learning some powerful new skills! During our time spent together, we will be hosting this event outdoors and in an open warehouse, so please plan to dress accordingly. We will be enforcing social distancing, face coverings, various housekeeping, and other COVID-19 safe practices recommended by the CDC.

Here is what some of our previous workshop participants have to say about their experience:
“I learned so much in such a short time frame. I was able to participate at my own pace and there was always a wide variety of areas to keep everyone interested. I was able to always get all of my answers to any questions. I was a novice in so many ways but being in an environment where you felt welcomed and everybody was interested in giving all they had was phenomenal. Even with all the hard work the atmosphere created was infectious and you did not want to leave at the end of each day! ”
“The pace of the workshop was great for instructional. The professionals were clear and concise with instruction blocks, and were supportive while we learned.”
“I have been to two workshops and have learned so much. The camaraderie at these workshops reminds me so much of my military days. The fact that with each build we have one less veteran off the street makes it that much better.”
“The joy I received and the friendships I made were beyond my expectation!”
“Learned a lot, met a great group of people, and did something that will make a difference in someone’s life. We did something beautiful for a person that deserves to know that there are people who care and love them. So rewarding.”
“This workshop was a game changer for me. I feel like I got flipped upside down and turned inside out. The Operation Tiny Home team was absolutely incredible. They all took the time to teach me, grow me, challenge me, feed me, and love me.”
“Operation Tiny Home is a class act that exceeded all my expectations. David and I can’t say enough good things. We are still talking about it.
”
“I like building stuff and helping fellow veterans and I got to do that and it was a lot of fun.”
