Permanent volunteers

Volunteering at Saskatoon Makerspace offers a fantastic opportunity to exchange your time and skills for a valuable benefit: a free Maker membership. By dedicating just one and a half hours a week to volunteer work, you gain access to the vibrant and creative environment of Makerspace. As a volunteer, you might assist with tasks such as cleaning, organizing tools and materials, helping to maintain the workspace, supporting events and workshops, or contributing your own unique expertise to the community.

Volunteering at Saskatoon Makerspace not only enhances your own skills and experience but also supports a community of makers, innovators and creatives. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement that fosters learning, collaboration and creativity.

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 Repair Cafe takes place monthly on the second Saturday of each month from 1pm to 4pm.
