The City of Minneapolis is offering a class for groups interested in starting or growing a cooperative or converting an existing business into a cooperative. The class will equip participants with tools to evaluate their co-op idea and/or refine their model for those that are already in the process of incorporation. It is recommended that more than one representative from a co-op attend the course and that at least one of the same members attends each class. This class is not for developing housing cooperatives.

Participants are not required to be Minneapolis residents, but they should be considering Minneapolis as the location for their co-op (or if the business/co-op has already been established it should be located in Minneapolis currently).

This is a free course.
