How to Get Started, What's Involved?

 

Volunteer

It's as simple as inviting 8-15 friends, acquaintances, coworkers, fellow parishioners or neighbors to an introductory session led by a Sustain Dane volunteer.

 

Discussion groups meet at places of business, centers of faith, your home, neighborhood or community centers to list a few places.

 

Discussion groups come together for eight or nine meetings to discuss stories and articles from the weekly themes presented in the course workbook. The readings become the starting point for exchanging ideas from which individuals explore one's own relationship to the themes covered, the questions explored, or the ideas shared by other members.


Do you enjoy meeting new people and participating in celebrations?

 

Become a volunteer and introduce or mentor a discussion course to groups in neighborhoods, workplaces and centers of faith.

 

Receive training in techniques on how to conduct an introduction and a mentoring and you'll be helping individuals make personal changes toward sustainability.

 

Contact Sustain Dane for more information about volunteering for NWEI discussion courses.
