Mernda Repair Cafe Volunteer Support

The Mernda Repair Café Volunteer Support will work with the MRC Team and support the running of the Mernda Repair Café monthly events. The MRC Volunteer Support will work closely with the Coordinator and Staff of the Mernda Community House and the MRC Steering group.

The Mernda Repair Café focus is on environmental sustainability. Our efforts towards having a positive impact are through our monthly repair events and regular workshops sharing knowledge on repair and maintenance of personal items. In 18 months of repair events the Mernda Repair Café has diverted over 1.3 tons of waste from landfill.
