Consider lending your time to SEEDS! We welcome new members, volunteers, and ideas. Join us if you would like to help SEEDS continue to grow. You don’t have to be an expert in sustainable energy to be of service. We are seeking individuals who wish to help our mission by donating a couple of hours virtually or in the office each week, by helping us coordinate forums, workshops, and fundraiser parties, or by being our member/volunteer coordinator.
