ABOUT US

Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. The Transition Project emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the community, and a desire for actions to speak louder than words. Established in 2000, we’re an organization driven by progressive ideas, bold actions, and a strong foundation of support. Contact us to learn more and get involved.
