Fixit Clinic: Boston Building Resources

Explore troubleshooting and repair with volunteer coaches.

June 13, 2026
Event Date2026-06-13T13:00:00 - 2026-06-13T16:00:00

Fixit Clinics are free workshops where people bring broken stuff—from bikes to blenders to blazers—and volunteer coaches share their 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; they are family-friendly and open to all. The City of Boston Environment Department is partnering with Boston Building Resources to host one of these events.
