Men’s Sheds can also be She Sheds
You may decide to host special She Shed Maker’s Days during the week, host family BBQs and outings, or work together building community gardens. Your Shed may decide to always be open to the entire community, regardless of gender or age. Your own local members will decide on the projects and policies for their own Shed. Important Historical Note: Woman have often been the Founders of successful local Sheds. Their ability to get Sheds launched and their dedication to helping men find meaning and purpose – especially after retirement – is an inspiring part of the US movement’s growth. This same dedication is also evident in the worldwide movement. Women understand that they have many options for socialization as they age, but men have very few. The US Men’s Shed movement recognizes the important role women have had in Shed Leadership/Volunteerism across the US.
