The Center houses a vital program for training volunteers  to staff the Center and lead community action projects that enhance local economies, diverse ecology and connect community.

The Center building was renovated by SFx volunteers in 2001 using green building materials.

The Center  includes:

Demonstration Facility – We use exhibits and visual learning aids to showcase sustainability practices at the Center. We currently have "Where does your water come from?"  and "Where does your Electricity come from?" displays. We also have a Disaster Preparedness disply provided by Fairfax Lumber.

Develop Educational Resources – We provide a reference library, educational materials and online resources, and trained volunteers to answer questions and support a call-in hotline.

Provide Ongoing Classes and Workshops – hold indoor and outdoor educational classes and talks that cover a range of sustainability topics.

Showcase a Retail Shop – sell SFx-logo apparel and green and sustainable products hard to find in the area.We also feature local artist goods.
