Fixit Clinic: Boston Building Resources

Explore troubleshooting and repair with volunteer Fixit coaches.

May 17, 2025
2025-05-17T11:00:00 - 2025-05-17T14:00:00

Fixit Clinics are free workshops where people bring broken stuff—from bikes to blenders to blazers—and volunteer Fixit Coaches share their time, 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 community groups to offer these events across our neighborhoods.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
  • A broken gadget, small appliance, computer, toy, textile good, or other item

  • Useful tools and parts, if you have them

  • A description of what’s wrong and anything you’ve tried to fix it—advance online research is helpful

  • A desire to learn and share your knowledge!

These events are family-friendly and open to all. Interested in becoming a Fixit Coach yourself? Come lend a hand.
