Just because it’s broken doesn’t mean it belongs in the trash can! Whether it’s cracked, torn, stained, missing a piece, or just not working properly, broken things can be made good as new with the right skills and tools. Resource Renew is partnering with the Duluth Folk School, Duluth Makerspace, and Northern Bedrock Historic Preservation Corps to host Fix-It Clinics where you can learn how to fix your stuff!
What is a Fix-it Clinic?
Fix-It Clinics are events where volunteers with repair skills give free, guided assistance to help you troubleshoot and fix your broken household items. Volunteers specialize in a variety of repair skills, including electronics and small appliances, woodworking and furniture, watches and jewelry, clothing and upholstery, sports and outdoor gear, ceramics, artwork, and more!
Sign up in advance to be paired with a skilled volunteer -- visit wlssd.com/fix-it or call (218) 722-3336 to reserve a time slot and make sure our volunteers are prepared with the right tools and materials to help!
Walk-ins welcome but not guaranteed a time slot!

SEEKING VOLUNTEERS!
We welcome repairers of all specialties and skill levels! Fix-It Clinic volunteers help guide participants in fixing their broken items, identifying what’s wrong and teaching valuable repair skills. Or, if you’ve never fixed anything before, the Fix-It Clinic welcomes volunteer greeters to orient participants and keep the event running smoothly! Learn more and fill out a volunteer form at wlssd.com/fix-it or by phone at (218) 722-3336.
