Current Initiatives and Working Groups Listed on the Right
An Initiative or Working Group forms when Transition members share a passionate commitment for a particular topic related to creating a resilient community. Working groups research a specific need of the community and propose a creative local response. Initiatives are specific projects that may be short-term in duration.
Some groups meet monthly – check our calendar for meeting dates or contact us to get involved.
