Invest In Our Collective Future

An extraordinary opportunity in these extraordinary times

Transition US is funded primarily by extraordinary citizens like you. Your gifts of time, ideas, and financial resources allow us to continue our mission to inspire, encourage, support, network, and train the growing number of initiatives here in the United States.

Four Years. Go.

... a campaign to change the course of history

We, along with a growing number of other Transition Initiatives, are excited to support this global campaign and declare our renewed sense of urgency. Transition takes decades but the work we do within our communities between now and 2014 will determine to a large extent how successful we will be in weathering the changes that are upon us for the next 1000 years.

Transition OKC momentum building!
Transition OKC, a project of Sustainable OKC, became the nation's 27th official Transition initiative in May of 2009. The TOKC coordinating team took several months to lay the foundations of this project by discussing the “Transition Handbook,” hosting a Training for Transition, and setting principles, guidelines and a constitution in place (neatly stored in PVC-free binders, thanks to Shauna Struby).
A Look at Transition Cities
While the Transition model is being used in communities of all shapes and sizes, rural and urban, it takes a slightly different tune each time, adapted to the settings of that particular local. In larger urban areas, and given the dense and resource intensive aspects of cities, organizers are thinking hard about how best to develop resilient local communities across a diverse geographic space.
Transition Colorado Hosts County-Wide EAT LOCAL! Week
In the Transition community, we love food. All over the country, groups are coming together around food and reconnecting with where their food comes from, becoming growers and cooks a la slow food. From the learning to build a basic solar oven, to preserving food for the winter, to saving seeds for the following season. Food is where transitioners alike really dig in.
