Volunteer: Help save stuff from the landfill with community repair events!Fix-it Fairs and Repair Cafés are community gatherings bringing neighbors together to provide free repair services to the public while reducing landfill waste and passing on vital skills. These hands-on events are open to everyone and provide an empowering opportunity for individuals to learn how to repair items – like small appliances and electronics – for themselves and others. The events are held at sites around town, with the goal of making them accessible to more people in more communities. What gets fixed? The public is invited to bring items in need of repairing or mending that might otherwise be thrown away, such as bikes, jewelry, clothing, small appliances, furniture, toys and electronics. What do volunteers do? Volunteers help with a variety of event-prep activities: setting up the space, placing signage, helping guests get their items checked in, getting those items to the appropriate repair station, taking photos of guests with their repaired items and more. Please Note: When you sign up for this opportunity, Repair x Reuse WA will reach out to learn more about your skills, interests, and location. We will then put you in touch with one or more of the fixer or repair group organizers who run local events.
