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, working with you to disassemble, 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.
