Volunteer Coach at the September 2025 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!

We are continuing to offer 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. 

For the first portion, you'll work with other volunteers to repair items dropped off by community members who couldn't attend the clinic. Then once the clinic opens to the public, you'll teach visitors how to troubleshoot and repair their items. We will provide lunch before the clinic opens to the public.

New policy: We no longer accept laptops, cell phones, or tablets at the Fix-It Clinic. These items often require extensive troubleshooting and take up a lot of your time. 

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 Conley-Guerrero Senior Activity Center, September 5-11.
