Edinburgh Tool Library's 6-month volunteer maker programme helps you to gain workshop access, grow your skills, and give back to the local community.

You can volunteer your time in exchange for workshop space: Use their fully equipped woodworking workshop for your own practice in exchange for 18-24 hours a month volunteering with the library.

This is a great opportunity for anyone who needs space to work in and get started on their woodworker, furniture maker or trades person career.

Volunteering consists of leading workshop safety inductions, running open sessions, running woodworking classes, leading community builds, and other fun opportunities.

Edinburgh Tool Library has two workshops - one at Custom Lane in Leith, and one in Portobello. Both workshops are vibrant spaces open up to members and non-members via a programme of open sessions and classes run by an amazing team of volunteers.
