VOLUNTEER WITH US!
Volunteers are vital to Transition Dundee. From sharing skills in our workshops to collecting food donations for our Community Fridge, our volunteers help us to support lots of local people and build a more sustainable, low-impact community.
We have a wide range of volunteer opportunities for all ages, so no matter how much time you have to give or what your skills are we would love to hear from you.

Workshops
Our workshops vary from sewing, to reducing food waste, to cutting your home energy usage. If you have a skill you'd like to share, or would like to give a hand at workshops this is the one for you!
We try to run workshops in the evenings and weekends so more people can attend but are generally set to when the volunteers/teacher is available.
