TRANSITION US

Transition US currently offers in-person and online Transition Launch, Transition Talk, Transition Thrive, and Effective Collaboration trainings to help aspiring and existing social change activists learn from best practices, respond to common challenges, and scale up their impact. Through these highly-interactive courses, participants also establish meaningful and long-lasting connections with peers, receive valuable resources to bring back to their groups, and leave inspired and energized to tackle the work ahead.

Transition US periodically organizes in-person and online National Gatherings to bring together activists and organizations throughout the regenerative communities movement to connect and collaborate with each other, share successful, replicable models, and engage in discussions on key topics. Over 300 people participated in our first National Gathering, which took place over five days in the Twin Cities of Minnesota in 2017. We then followed this up with a one-day National Online Summit in 2018, and a two-and-a-half week-long ReGenerative Communities Summit in 2021 that featured 53 events, 39 sponsors and partners, and more than 1,100 participants.

More information about each of these National Gatherings can be found at https://www.transitionus.org/summit and https://www.transitiongathering.org.

Transition US is currently in the process of launching ReGeneration Nation, a new three-year campaign to make the regenerative vision known throughout this country as an attractive and credible alternative to the status quo. Specific campaign activities will include a National Week of Action in the Fall of 2022, a ReGeneration Corps to uplift and support the leadership of youth and BIPOC activists in scaling up this movement, and a ReGenerative Communities Design Lab to spread our message farther and wider than ever before.

These two related programs are both designed to help guide small groups of neighbors to meet together over the course of several weeks to engage in discussions and take actions that help build household and community resilience. With workbook chapters on Energy, Water, Food, Waste, and Transportation, Transition Streets is primarily focused on reducing participants' environmental footprints. Ready Together focuses primarily on emergency preparedness and disaster response, offering exercises to help participants map their neighborhood, identify potential hazards, gather essential supplies, and develop contingency plans.

Transition US maintains multiple websites and social media channels, as well as a monthly e-newsletter, to educate the general public about the regenerative communities movement and share news, stories, key resources, and upcoming events. We also occasionally create publications such as "10 Stories of Transition in the US," give interviews for podcasts and traditional media outlets, speak at conferences, and offer webinars and workshops for related groups.
