Bay Area Community Repair Events
"Folks who know how to fix things, getting together to help neighbors who don't, bringing broken things back to life."
Berkeley Unified School District
In the summer of 2026 the school district eliminated the Climate Literacy Coordinator position, which had supported developing a rich, multi-dimensional repair program, including district-hosted community repair events.
Fix-It Fests are therefore on hold.
Check out coverage of past events:
The Berkeley Jacket — February 2026
The Daily Cal — March 2026
Berkeleyside — November 2024
Fixit Clinic offers and supports many events throughout the Bay Area.
