Co-op Curious
Start Your Co-op Learning Journey
Cooperatives are businesses with a twist, and the people who use them also own them. It is teamwork built for your community's economy. Many of our communities have had to rely on each other when traditional systems did not show up for us, and co-ops build on that strength.
Curious? Let's explore how co-ops work, why they matter, and help you decide whether a cooperative could be the right model for the enterprise you are building.
Once you complete this learning path, we'll share tools and resources to support your next steps in a way that reflects your community's voice and priorities.
Enjoy the journey, because it belongs to you.
