Co-op Dayton Community Tour August 8, 2025

What does it look like when workers own the business? Come find out.

Co-op Dayton's Community Tour is a guided, up-close look at cooperative businesses rooted right here in Dayton's neighborhoods. You'll go behind the scenes at three worker-owned businesses, meet the people leading them, and see cooperative principles in action — not as theory, but as everyday reality.

This isn't a lecture. It's a chance to walk through the doors of businesses where workers share ownership, share decisions, and share in the profits — and to imagine what that could mean for your own community, your work, and Dayton's future.

What to expect: — Guided visits to local cooperatives — Conversations with cooperative members and leaders — A firsthand look at how shared ownership works in practice — Space to ask questions, connect, and get involved

Whether you're a worker, entrepreneur, organizer, or simply curious about what a different kind of economy looks like — this tour is for you.

The future is cooperative. Come see it.
