casual volunteers

We have heaps of events happening, and we are in search of volunteers! Community participation is key for community events, we invite you to come learn something new, meet likeminded humans, and lend a hand to your favourite community organization.

We have a variety of stations, tasks, and shifts available. Preference for some stations will be given to people with experience with relevant equipment, though training will be available as needed.

All volunteers will be provided with Makerspace shirts, and we do have some perks the more you help out! Those perks are as follows:

2 hours = 15% off a class
6 hours = 55$ off membership
8 hours = free class
12+ Hours = free class + 1 month membership

Help out with a repair cafe

Repair Cafe is a community event where people bring in their broken items and volunteers help them fix them. The event has been a huge success and we have received a lot of positive feedback from attendees. However, to continue offering this service to the community, we need more volunteers!

We are looking for individuals who have experience in fixing a variety of items, such as electronics, clothing, furniture, and more. If you have a particular skill set or interest in fixing certain items, fill out the form below. Our next repair cafe will take place fall of 2024.
