Register for the in-person component of Building Blocks Hybrid 2023. This includes a 2-day intensive held in Oakland, CA from September 19-20th. Day 1 will include trainings on feasibility studies, navigating group dynamics, and cooperative sectors. We’ll also have an evening networking event for participants, trainers, and local cooperators! Day 2 will include tours of Bay Area cooperatives operating in a diverse array of industries and ownership models. We’ll visit co-ops in downtown Oakland, Berkeley, and Sonoma that include a real estate investment co-op, housing co-op, multi-stakeholder food hub cooperative, and worker co-ops!
This training is ideal for participants who have taken Building Blocks Online 2020-2022 and would like the experience of in-person networking and co-op site visits.
