This is Hot House Community Projects
Hot House is about creating a nurturing environment where communities can grow and thrive.
​
Hot House Community Projects is an emerging social enterprise, based in the west of Melbourne, with a focus on learning and development through transformational pedagogies
and community development principles.
​
Hot House works with community in all its glorious diversity in local neighbourhoods, along with workers in the human services and social sectors (including community, youth, health, education, local government) to build great communities and better futures for people and planet!
​
Hot House is founded and led by Helen Rodd,
an experienced community development practitioner and educator.

Build with what they have.

when the task is accomplished,
the people will say
we have done it ourselves.
