Committees are volunteer-led working groups and the main way Trellis distributes labor and decision-making throughout the collective. By joining a committee, you can help shape everything from Trellis’s day-to-day operations to our long-term direction. Whatever your skills and interests, there's a committee where you can make a real difference.
Members and community volunteers are welcome to apply to join a committee. Expect to dedicate about four hours per month to meetings and shared tasks.
