Fix-It Clinics
Get help with your broken stuff and learn valuable repair skills at free Fix-It Clinics.
Fix-It Clinics offer free, guided assistance from volunteers with repair skills to disassemble, troubleshoot, and (hopefully) fix small household appliances, clothing, electronics, mobile devices and more. Fix-It Clinics teach valuable troubleshooting and basic repair skills, build community connections and reduce the number of repairable items that are thrown in the trash.
Fix-It Clinics
We look forward to holding in-person Fix-It Clinics again when we can, but in the meantime, we are offering group virtual repair sessions via Zoom with our Fix-It Clinic volunteers.

Some common tools you may need include:

- Needle nose and regular pliers
- Flashlight
- Soldering iron and solder
- Basic voltmeter and wires to measure AC and DC voltage and resistance (if your item is electrical and not working)
