What is a Fix-it Clinic?

Fix-It Clinics are community service events dedicated to changing the modern day throw-away mentality. By encouraging the repair and reuse of goods rather than disposing of them, we can reduce the volume of raw materials and energy needed to make new products and also reduce the amount of waste going into landfills.

Visitors bring their broken items to the Fix-It Clinic where volunteer Fix-It Coaches with repair knowledge offer guidance and assistance to help disassemble, troubleshoot and possibly repair each item. Fix-It Clinics are all about do-it-together hands-on repair, teaching people to see their possessions in a new light in efforts to guide their mindsets towards a more sustainable society.

What items can I bring?

Want to learn how to sew a button? Take better care of your bike? Sign up to reserve a spot with one of our Fix-It Coaches in two categories - clothing and bicycles.
