COMMUNITY REPAIR EVENTS & Venues

Details About Upcoming Events, Venues and Volunteering

"Folks who know how to fix things, getting together to help folks who don't, bringing broken things back to life."

I’m working in collaboration with Transition Berkeley to establish a group dedicated to organizing community repair events on a regular schedule, at a consistent venue in the Berkeley area. If you’re interested in helping ORGANIZE these events, please let me know: cultureofrepair@gmail.com

If you’re interested in volunteering to MEND FIX & REPAIR at a repair event, please complete the volunteer form at the bottom of this page.
