#WomenInConstructionWeek #PWB #NCWVHBAConstruction Story Time with the Littles!
Today WV Women Work had the absolute joy of visiting Upshur Head Start for a special construction-themed story time with their preschool classes! We read The House That She Built and talked about all the amazing things women can build and create in the skilled trades.
After the story, we asked the littles what they might want to do in construction when they grow up. The answers were fantastic! We had future painters, a few very serious crane operators, and apparently a whole fleet of future truck drivers ready to hit the road. The excitement in the room was contagious as we talked about all the different ways people help build homes, roads, and communities.
One of the coolest things about reading this book with young kids is that every job in the story is done by a woman — electricians, engineers, plumbers, designers, crane operators, and more. And the funny part? The kids didn’t even notice. To them, it just made perfect sense that anyone could do these jobs.
Right now, women make up only about 3% of the building trades workforce, but when kids see these careers early, they don’t see limits — they just see possibilities.
Moments like this remind us how powerful it is to introduce kids to new opportunities early — especially during Women in Construction Week, when we celebrate the women helping build stronger communities every day.
A huge thank you to Upshur County Head Start for welcoming us and letting us spend the morning with such bright, curious, and enthusiastic learners. The future builders of West Virginia are already dreaming big!

We are still celebrating Women in Construction, must admit we have one of these best out there!!
Each year during Women in Construction Week, we celebrate the women who are helping shape the future of the building industry through leadership, dedication, and innovation. One such leader making a meaningful impact in West Virginia is Adelheid Schaupp, a passionate advocate for the construction industry and an inspiring force within the Home Builders Association community.
Adelheid has become a recognized voice for progress and community-driven development in the building industry. Through her involvement with the Home Builders Association of West Virginia and the North Central West Virginia Home Builders Association, she has consistently demonstrated the importance of leadership, collaboration, and mentorship. Her commitment to strengthening both the industry and her community reflects a genuine desire to create opportunities and lasting improvements in the places people call home.
One of Adelheid’s greatest accomplishments is founding Forever Greenmont, a revitalization initiative focused on restoring and rehabilitating homes in Morgantown’s historic Greenmont neighborhood. Through this work, she has dedicated significant time and effort to preserving the character of the community while breathing new life into homes that might otherwise be lost. Her vision behind Forever Greenmont reflects her deep belief that strong communities begin with safe, well-built, and thoughtfully restored homes.
Adelheid is also a founding member of Morgantown Forward , a community-focused initiative dedicated to strengthening Morgantown’s future through civic engagement, collaboration, and forward-thinking leadership. Through this work, she continues to advocate for responsible growth, community investment, and a shared vision for the city’s future.
Her leadership and dedication have also earned national recognition. In 2024, Adelheid was honored by the National Association of Home Builders as the recipient of the Young Professional Award, recognizing emerging leaders who are making meaningful contributions to the housing industry and their communities.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Adelheid is widely respected by her peers for her passion, work ethic, and commitment to lifting others up. She brings energy, creativity, and a collaborative spirit to every project and initiative she supports, inspiring both new and seasoned members of the Home Builders Association.
Adelheid resides in Morgantown with her family, who are among her biggest supporters. Her family also works alongside her in many of these community efforts, spending countless hours helping clean up, restore, and revitalize neighborhoods through their involvement with both Forever Greenmont and Morgantown Forward. Their shared commitment to community service reflects the same passion and dedication that Adelheid brings to the building industry.
During Women in Construction Week, we recognize leaders like Adelheid Schaupp who are helping pave the way for the next generation of builders, innovators, and community leaders. Her work reminds us that the future of construction is stronger when passion for community, leadership, and craftsmanship come together.
As the industry continues to grow and evolve, voices like Adelheid’s help ensure that progress, opportunity, and excellence remain at the foundation of everything we build.
