An impact partnership, not a team-building line item.
Wood Sisters gives organizations a transparent way to fund real access to tools and trades for women, girls, and FLINTA* people: with a genuine hands-on team experience built in, and honest numbers behind every session.
Teams that have already built with us.
Skilled trades are still a closed room for most women, girls, and FLINTA* people.
Hands-on trades: woodworking, repair, building: remain overwhelmingly male-coded spaces in Germany, and real tool-time is still rare for the people this program serves. Wood Sisters exists to close that gap directly: not through a statement, but through actual sessions, actual tools, and actual seats funded.
The numbers say the same thing: in 2024, only 17.3% of apprentices in Germany’s skilled trades (Handwerk) were women (ZDH), and just 10.3% of people working in trade occupations were female (Destatis).
Three steps, no fine print.
Your team books a session
A hands-on Wood Sisters workshop for your team: furniture building, spoon carving, or jewelry making: led by one of our teachers, anywhere in Germany.
A seat is funded
A fixed share of every partnership booking funds a free seat in a Wood Sisters workshop for a girl, woman, or FLINTA* person who otherwise couldn't access it. The allocation is agreed upfront, in writing.
You receive the numbers
After each partnership, you get a short, honest impact summary: sessions run, seats funded, hours of tool-time: to use in your own ESG, CSR, or Nachhaltigkeitsbericht reporting.
The team day is real. So is the report.
Hands-on, not performative.
Your team leaves with an object they built, not a slide about teamwork. The workshop is the same one paying participants get: no separate, lesser "CSR version."
Numbers you can cite.
Sessions run, seats funded, hours delivered: a short summary built for your ESG, CSR, or Nachhaltigkeitsbericht, not a marketing one-pager.
Named, or quiet, your call.
Some partners want to be named publicly; others prefer to fund quietly. Both are honest. We follow your preference, not a template.
Direct, not diffuse.
Partners can direct funded seats toward a specific school, neighborhood, or community group, or leave it to Wood Sisters' existing outreach.
Start small, or commit further. Both are welcome.
