Join a cohort of new cooperators from across the Mid-Atlantic in this virtual learning series. Cooperative groups will be guided through the phases of cooperative development – start to finish. Learn key concepts along the way through hands-on, collaborative work, guided by an expert KDC Co-op Developer and experienced cooperative members.

The Co-op Academy program is tailored to address the unique challenges and highlight best practices of starting and managing a cooperative enterprise for emerging cooperative leaders. This program is recommended for groups looking to start a cooperative or convert a business to a cooperative.
