We help communities grow strong, sustainable cooperatives through training, accompaniment, and solidarity-driven practices.
We are a multicultural collective of worker-owners, practitioners, organizers and facilitators with decades of combined experience in the cooperative and solidarity economy movements who are committed to operating in practices grounded in anti-oppression and consensus decision-making.
To advance, grow and promote cooperativism and worker ownership as an economic model through training, experimentation, counseling and practice.
We believe that building a just and sustainable economy that prioritizes people and planet over profit means that we stand in solidarity with movements for collective liberation. Centering in abundance, we believe in the broad re/distribution of resources and experiences and commit to creating sustainable spaces and processes through work grounded in anti-capitalist and anti-oppressive values.
We are committed to practicing and teaching cooperative economics. We work to deepen the infrastructure for redefining a solidarity economy based on equity and justice, strengthening our muscles to be in cooperation with each other.
We treat our work and each other with integrity. This means that we build trust and respect in our team and in the work we bring to the world. We practice with honesty and transparency, and hold ourselves accountable to the values on this page.
We practice with love and care for each other and for our communities, mindful of the intersectionality of our collective struggles. We believe that joy and pleasure as tools of liberation should be at the center of our work and our care for each other.
We provide the tools, training, and support you need to launch, strengthen, and sustain your cooperative. Our services include:
Engaging, practical trainings on cooperative economics, governance, decision-making, and solidarity practices.
Step-by-step support tailored to your group’s unique journey, grounded in anti-oppression practices.
Skilled facilitation for collective processes, ensuring inclusion, clarity, and consensus.
Access educational materials, guides, and tools to support your cooperative journey.
We are proud to work with groups across New York City and beyond who are building a more just economy.
