The City of Boise and JUMP invite you to bring a personal treasure back to life at the Repair Café. This free community event enable neighbors to help each other reduce waste and keep reusable home goods in circulation by repairing them together.

Bring one item in need of repair and a team of volunteers will help you diagnose and repair it in a relaxed, social setting. Repair stations will be available for clothing and textiles, leather, jewelry, personal electronics, small appliances, toys and other non-electrical household items under 50 pounds. If we can’t fix it, we’ll help you research repair options available to you and recommend next steps.

See you soon at the Repair Café!

This class trains the human how to teach the dog. The theme of the program is control and enthusiasm. The ultimate goal is an attentive, enthusiastic dog, under complete control, that responds immediately and eagerly to all commands. The course is six weeks and will cover the basic obedience commands: watch me, leave it, heal, sit, down, stay, and come. Various training strategies will be covered in the course. The course will utilize the distraction of dogs and people to master the skills. This course is being taught by Denise Baxter. Denise is an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, a Pet Partners Evaluator, and an Alliance of Therapy Dogs Tester/Observer. Denise has been teaching dog obedience classes since 1997.

iNaturalist, an online social network of people sharing biodiversity information to help each other learn about nature, puts on the City Nature Challenge each year worldwide, an event to encourage citizen science in our own communities.
