ACT

Around the world, people and organizations are already working towards a life-affirming future, and many welcome new members, volunteers, collaborators. This section can help you find where your energy and gifts might fit in.

 

Resources are organized into twelve dimensions of transformation, from new ways of seeing the world, to economics, governance, justice, the living Earth, technology, education, inner well-being, spirituality, and culture. You’ll also find lists of volunteer opportunities compiled by other organizations in the movement. 

​

Please note that we haven’t vetted all of these organizations, so use your good judgment choosing where to get invovled.
