Teton Repair Cafe Volunteer Fixer
Website Teton Repair Cafe a project of Teton Resilience Network
Mission - Build a sustainability, low-waste mindset through community repair and DIY in the Teton region. Vision - A culture where repair comes before disposal, empowering community members to change
Our first Teton Repair Café in June was a HUGE success with 17 volunteers and over 50 items repaired! We’re expecting an even bigger turnout this time, which means we need more hands-on deck!
Saturday, October 17, 11-3pm, Teton Repair Cafe, Teton County Library, Jackson
Whether you can sew on a button, replace a frayed electrical cord, fix a wobbly stool, or just love a good puzzle, there’s a place for you at our workbench.
We are seeking volunteers with repair skills in the following:
Light Furniture Repair
Sewing
Toys & Small Electronics
Jewelry & Eyewear Repair
Lamps, Lighting & Other Electrical Appliances
Outdoor Gear Repair
Not a “fixer”? Not a problem! We’re also looking for event support superstars to help with greeting attendees, set up, cleanup, photography, and celebrating repairs!
