Explore troubleshooting and repair with volunteer Fixit coaches.
Fixit Clinics are free workshops where people bring broken stuff—from bikes to blenders to blazers—and volunteer Fixit Coaches share their time, tools, and know-how to help troubleshoot and (hopefully) repair items. These meet-ups build hands-on skills, confidence, community, and a culture of reuse and repair.
The City of Boston Environment Department is partnering with the Artisan's Asylum to host one of these events.
