Building Power for Women in the Trades
The Sisterhood of Carpenters Association (SOCA) connects, supports, and amplifies women in the carpentry trade through community, education, and shared resources.
Who We Are
SOCA is a community-driven organization built by and for women in the carpentry trade. Based in the greater St. Louis area, we create space for sisters in the trades to connect, grow, and lift each other up.
Whether you're an apprentice just starting out or a journeywoman with decades on the job, SoCA is your home base — a place to find mentorship, resources, and a network that has your back.
Community
We bring sisters together through meetups, events, and an online hub where tradeswomen can share experiences, ask questions, and build real connections.
Education
From microlearning modules to hands-on workshops, we provide accessible training and skill-building opportunities designed for women in the trades.
Advocacy
We amplify the voices of women carpenters and advocate for equitable treatment, safer job sites, and greater representation across the industry.
Back the work. Support the sisters.
Your donation helps SOCA connect, train, and organize women in the trades across the U.S. and Canada—so more sisters get the support they need on the job and in the hall.
