Who We Are
Fix-It DC consists of free community repair events dedicated to changing the “throw-it-away” mentality. Participants bring their broken items to the event where volunteer coaches provide guidance in troubleshooting how to repair each item.
What We Do
Celebrate repair: Learn by helping others disassemble and troubleshoot their stuff. Sign up to be a Fix-It DC coach in the District. Fix-It DC is an all-ages community event where people bring their broken household things and learn how to assess, disassemble, and repair them instead of sending them to the landfill. We’re looking for volunteer coaches with knowledge and skills to repair electronics, small appliances and textiles. FIRST TIME FIX-IT COACHES ARE ALWAYS WELCOME: You learn too, floating from item to item and consulting with others to cross-train and maximize transfer of knowledge is heartily encouraged (Fixing families welcome as well).
