The cooperative model of community and worker ownership can transform Dayton’s Black and working-class neighborhoods by anchoring jobs and businesses locally. We support a network of co-ops and are dedicated to launching new co-ops, all owned and operated by fellow Daytonians.
Co-Op
Businesses
We guide groups through the process of building co-ops that create good jobs, shared ownership, and lasting local wealth.

There's Another Way to Do Business!
One where the people doing the work also share ownership, decision-making, and the value that’s created. Cooperatives offer a proven path to building wealth, leadership, and stronger communities, and learning how they work can change how you think about what’s possible together.
