“What Transition Initiatives are about is unlocking the collective genius of the community…”

– Rob Hopkins, founder of Transition Network

Get Involved! Contact us here.

So you’ve read some posts on this site and on the Transition Network, you’ve already signed up for our monthly newsletter; maybe you’ve attended one of our events, or several. But you’re not satisfied at that are you? Oh no, you are ready to do more! Ready to jump in with both feet, or head-first, whichever seems more empowering, or inspiring, or challenging... Am I right?!
That’s great!
Because your community needs you. Now more than ever.
We can do this. Together.

Working Groups

A Transition Initiative forms working groups to tackle the specific challenges of our times. We’ve formed a few groups already, but with your involvement, we can do more.
Some of the working groups that are currently active are:
  • Gardens Group
  • Repair Café Pasadena
  • Reading Group
Do you have an interest in working on one of the topics above?
Or maybe you’d like to start up a working group in something else?
Fill out our Contact Form, and let us know in the body of your message what you would most like to be involved with.

Our Core Team

We have a core group that’s committed to the long-term objectives of Transition, and many in our Steering Team have been involved since day one.

A cheerful disclaimer…

Just in case you were under the impression that Transition is a process defined by people who have all the answers, you need to be aware of a key fact.

We truly don't know if this will work. Transition is a social experiment on a massive scale.

What we are convinced of is this:
  • If we wait for the governments, it'll be too little, too late;
  • If we act as individuals, it'll be too little;
  • But if we act as communities, it might just be enough, just in time.

Everything that you read on this site is the result of real work undertaken in the real world with community engagement at its heart. This site, just like the Transition model, is brought to you by people who are actively engaged in Transition in a community. People who are learning by doing — and learning all the time. People who understand that we can't sit back and wait for someone else to do the work. People like you.
