September 2024 Fix-It Clinic

Are you handy with a hammer? Skilled with a sewing machine? Educated about electronics? Fix-It Austin needs your help! Sign up to volunteer at the next Fix-It Clinic and help fix beloved items and teach your neighbors about repair!

New for this clinic:

1. Due to a lack of interest, we will not be offering bike repair at this clinic. 
2. We have merged the electronics and miscellaneous categories.
3. There is now a "both shifts" option. Please select this option if you plan to attend both portions of the clinic.

We are continuing to test a drop-off option for community members. We will offer the traditional Fix-It Clinic model where attendees bring in their broken item and work directly with coaches to learn how to fix it. In addition, for people who are unable to attend the clinic in person (due to lack of childcare or transportation, work conflicts, etc.), we will also provide the option to drop off their broken items the week prior to the clinic. Before the traditional clinic opens, coaches will work solo or in groups to fix these items. 

Volunteers can sign up for just the drop-off portion with no attendees (10 a.m. – noon) or the traditional portion during which you will be working with attendees (noon – 2 p.m.) or select the "both shifts" option if you are planning to volunteer during both portions. We will provide lunch in the break from 11:30 a.m. to noon.

We will bring tools and equipment for common repairs that you may use. You may also bring your own if you prefer! We are so grateful to all our volunteers. We couldn't put these events on without you!

We would love for you to promote the event in your communities. Anyone who is interested in attending can register through EventBrite. Those who want to drop-off an item don't need to register -- they can just drop the item off at the Cepeda Branch, September 6-12.
