We still have here in Switzerland "repair cafes" run by volunteers, where mostly elderly bring their usually outdated devices to be repaired, while having a coffee and socializing. It works, as long it works...

I think it would be fun to volunteer at a repair clinic, but there's none nearby and it probably wouldn't work well with a low population density rural area.
