Review for Transition US, Sebastopol, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As an organizer working with congregations to engage in building healthy communities, sustainability and care of creation need to be balanced with human well-being. Transition offers a process of engagement, training, support, and shared values (inclusivity, heart & soul, permaculture principles) to not only develop resilience, but to create communities which thrive. Transition US has been very supportive of this work, recognizing that multiple demographic groups may have different motivation but want to engage in the process of creating holistic communities. I introduced Transition to multiple groups in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Training and resources are outstanding and accessible. Webinars provide information, but also networking and the capacity to ask questions -- without travel time or expense. The website is incredible, and the friendly, knowledgeable staff are the best!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Our local Transition Northfield has experienced growing pains and a significant learning curve. Transition US staff have been incredibly helpful, listen deeply and offer a selection of resources or people who may help us through the rough spots.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

The trainers and staff are very authentic. There isn't any hype or one size fits all sales pitch. They answer when they have answers, admit it when they don't, and refer to others who might! Commitment to learn and share what they know.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Funding could increase capacity to provide training and resources, to share best practices and network local intiatives, to develop communications within the US and with the international Transition Network, to assist local funding for Transition projects
