ORGANIZATION: Los Angeles Public Library

  • 6 people are interested

Volunteer as a "Fixit Coach" to consult with and advise program participants on figuring out the problems with their broken items, then guide them through disassembly and repair. Whether items get fixed or not, the goal is for participants to learn about how the item was manufactured and how it works. Some familiarity with electronic repairs is helpful but no need for expertise. Curiosity and willingness to work alongside others to figure out the problem is desired.

FixIt Clinics will occur at the following branches:

  • Mark Twain

  • El Sereno
