About Transition US:

Transition US is the national hub of the global Transition Towns movement.

Our mission is to catalyze and strengthen a national network of citizen-powered groups building local resilience though community action.

We accomplish this mission by inspiring, encouraging, supporting, networking and training individuals and their communities as they consider, adopt, adapt, and implement the Transition approach to community empowerment and change.

Ultimately, what we envision is a United States in which each community engages its collective creativity to unleash an extraordinary and historic transition to a future that is beyond fossil fuels — a future that is more vibrant, abundant and resilient, one that is ultimately preferable to the present.
