Volunteer With Us
Community Glue Workshop is always looking for volunteers! If you’ve ever fixed something, we want you! If you’re the go-to fixer-upper for your friends and family, we really want you! No formal training or credentials are required, just a desire to help out, a little experience, and a bit of ingenuity. Some tools related to your specialty wouldn’t hurt, either, but we’ve got some you can use. We’re looking for woodworkers, amateur (or professional) electricians, techie types, bike mechanics, sewing machine captains, blade sharpeners, adhesive aficionados, and other hands-on people. E-mail carla@communityglueworkshop.org if you’re interested, and we’ll follow up with information.

We would absolutely love your help. I’ll be sending out an email to all volunteers in a day or two to suss out who will be there and what skills we can offer. Thanks so very much!
I’m all over it. I am very happy to have found you and regret missing todays first gathering.. I can fix anything and have the tools to prove it….. But seriously August 25th……Let’s do this every weekend.
We wish we could…ideally as support grows and if we are able to get some kind of funding, we’ll grow these workshops in a multitude of ways. We’d love your help of course! Be sure to email carla@communityglueworkshop.org with your info so we can add you to the volunteer roster!
I’d love to help, I’ll be in touch
Glad you’re involved, Pat!
Hi! I just saw the national NBC news report tonight (Wed) at 5:30pm, featuring Kitchen Sink and Community Glue Workshop…how exciting! I was so glad to hear about it, and I definitely want to volunteer. Yes, I AM one of those people that “can fix almost anything”…and that all of my friends come to! 🙂 I always say that “I am a gal who is not afraid of power tools”! I would love to be able to help out, in anyway I can, and meet new people, and make new friends! I can sew, paint, design (repair) jewelry, recover seat cushions / re-upholster furniture, repair furniture….. I am an artist/desinger and Interior Stylist/Decorator, so the handy-woman / DIY things are just an extension of all of that! I am very creative and inventive, and am very good at “seeing things in a different light”, as far as not only repairing items, but also in re-purposing them.
My one main question is: do you do this regularly / once a month at Kitchen Sink, or is it on a rotating basis, at different locales? Let me know “how it works” / how often everyone gets together. I look forward to hearing from you, and in joining efforts and helping out the community!
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Best Regards,

Hi Rebecca! We do the clinics monthly, and almost always at Kitchen Sink, though occasionally we branch out to other locations. We would love for you to volunteer with us! Please email me at carla@communityglueworkshop.org and we can touch base about next sessions. Thanks! -Carla

Dave, we would love to have you! Our next clinic is on the 26th–I just posted the info on the blog. You can email me at info@communityglueworkshop.org if you can make it. Thanks and hope to see you there! -Carla
