Solidarity Economy Network Volunteer Application

Join Our Solidarity Economy Network as a Volunteer

Building a more equitable, democratic economy starts with people who understand cooperative principles and are ready to help others adopt them. If you have experience with worker cooperatives, democratic workplaces, or community-based economic development, we need your expertise and passion.

Our solidarity economy network connects cooperatives, community land trusts, mutual aid groups, and other democratically-run organizations. As a volunteer, you'll help bridge these organizations, share knowledge, mentor emerging cooperatives, and participate in shaping our collective direction through monthly assemblies.
