Get Involved

Interested in learning more about environmental sustainability but not sure where to start? Concerned and want contribute to change beyond your single household?

We welcome your interest and energy!

Volunteer as a Green Start Consultant

We firmly believe that the best way to learn about environmental sustainability is to get directly involved and "green" a facility yourself.

Through our training program, we pair you with an experienced staff member to work with nonprofits and gain direct experience in moving an organization towards environmental sustainability. Our consulting program is a learning opportunity not only for our clients and their stakeholders (staff, constituents, and funders) but also for the Connect the Dots volunteers.

We seek to empower you with knowledge and practices that can propagate changes in your personal living environment and in other organizations you interact with beyond Connect the Dots.

General Volunteering

We also recognize that not everyone can dedicate the time necessary to be a Green Start volunteer consultant. Tell us about yourself and we will help connect your specific interests with other volunteering opportunities.

Winning Combination

By opening our methodology and tools to involve concerned community members like yourself, we have witnessed how everyone benefits:

  • More people of diverse backgrounds get entrenched in environmental sustainability;
  • Connect the Dots extends its consulting capacity to reach more nonprofits;
  • Nonprofits get the assistance they need to operate more environmentally responsibly;
  • Partner programs are delivered to a sector without needing to expend additional outreach or marketing.
TOGETHER, we move from motivation and ideals to practical, measurable ACTION.
Through Green Start, I learned about conservation programs and services that I hope to implement for my building's Home Owner Association. I didn't realize all these great programs existed!
