#RepairCoaches needed for #RepairCafes in #RedHookNY
Sunday, December 29, 2024
"Repair Café Red Hook is a neighborhood initiative that promotes repair as an alternative to tossing things out. We host a Repair Café about four times a year in the Red Hook Community Center on a Saturday (event open to the public for 3 hours). Community members can bring their broken items to fix them on the spot with the help of voluntary repairers. Repair Café Red Hook could use more handy volunteers in the area. Join us!
"Repair Café Red Hook looking for local residents with different skills who can be present as repair experts during the Repair Café meetings. We are especially looking for people who are handy with:
* clothing / textiles * bicycles
* electrical appliances * wooden objects
* computers (hardware / software)
*jewelry
and more!
"And who enjoy sharing their knowledge with their neighbors. We’ll take as many people interested in repair as are interested in being on our list. You can reach out if you’d like to “apprentice” alongside a more experienced coach, too!
"Want to sign up as a volunteer? Send an email to Supervisor@redhookny.gov and cc lauriehusted@gmail.com with the Subject: Repair Cafe volunteer coach. Tell us what you like to repair, your name and email, and we’ll add you to our Coach list. You’ll get an email each time a cafe is scheduled asking if it works for you to participate.
See you soon at a Repair Café!
