A Fixit Clinic is a "pop-up" event where people bring their broken
belongings to learn how to repair them. Trying to fix something can be
intimidating! Everyone is welcome. No repair experience required.
Volunteer Fixit
Coaches will be there to help you.

(Registration is recommended, but walk-ins are welcome. Fixit Clinics are a
drop-in event.)

Here are some tips for a successful Fixit experience:

   -

   Bring the broken item with all parts necessary to recreate the symptoms
   -

   Bring any parts and tools you already own that might be helpful
   -

   Come ready to clearly describe what’s wrong and what you’ve tried
   -

   Come eager to learn and to share your skills and knowledge with others


Other important stuff:

   -

   Please understand that we cannot guarantee your item will be repaired;
   not all coaches are experts.
   -

   Please bring carry-in items only (no large appliances, large engines,
   furniture, etc.).
   -

   Hooray for our volunteer Fixit Coaches! Without them this event would
   not be possible. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer Fixit Coach
   for future Fixit Clinics, please email Hillary at
   hillary at homeresource.org
