A cooperative (also co-operative; often referred to as a co-op) is a business organization owned and operated by a group of individuals for their mutual benefit. Cooperatives are defined by the International Co-operative Alliance's Statement on the Co-operative Identity as autonomous associations of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through jointly-owned and democratically-controlled enterprises. A cooperative may also be defined as a business owned and controlled equally by the people who use its services or by the people who work there. Cooperative enterprises are the focus of study in the field of cooperative economics. The Cloyne Court Hotel, a student housing cooperative in Berkeley, California, United States.

From Google News Search: "Cooperatives" Does anyone have any info about volunteer labor cooperatives? Q. I remember seeing a flyer for a cooperative where members posted skills or tasks that they would be willing to do in exchange for other labor. Basically volunteers would donate time/resources to eachother for projects with which they needed help. For instance one person might time for minor home repair projects in exchange for help setting up a home network. The premise was that you volunteered your time. No money exchanged hands and each member reached a mutual agreement. I am interested to find out if other communities have tried this and if so, what type of things did you do to make it a successful endeavor?

Q. Given that the current financial and corporate structure has prov en to be dysfunctional, should we not start looking at alternatives such as cooperatives, syndicates and similar local organizations that we, the people, can control? Would you be willing to participate if there where a local food coop or even bank with a local savings and loan instead of a large, multinational bank? Asked by Zeff - Mon Mar 2 22:52:50 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Try a Credit Union in place of your bank. Credit Unions are not for profit organizations, while banks are only in business to make a profit. And if you like the idea of a "food coop", try shopping a your local farmers market. They grow the crops and sell them too. Or maybe you could just move up here to Seattle, it's the left coast after all.
