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 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. The City of Boston Environment Department is partnering with Boston Building Resources to host one of these events.

Mayor Michelle Wu and the City of Boston invite you to join us for a milestone in our Boston 250 celebration: the anniversary of Henry Knox’s Noble Train of Artillery.
Two hundred and fifty years ago, Henry Knox and his diverse artillery corps transported 59 cannons from Fort Ticonderoga to Roxbury, a feat of engineering and endurance that changed the course of history. Today, Roxbury remains a vibrant beacon of thought and action in Boston. Join us for a celebration of Roxbury’s role in the American Revolution for an afternoon of history and storytelling:
We encourage the use of the MBTA due to limited parking. The closest train station to Fenway High School and First Church is Roxbury Crossing on the Orange Line. The Orange Line will be operating shuttles from Back Bay to Forest Hills.
You can also take the 19 or 66 Buses to get to Fenway High. If you are heading directly to First Church, the 14/41/45 Buses will stop directly in front of the Church. In addition, the 15/19/23/28/44/45/66 will stop a street over. The 23 and 28 are free to ride.
