Since 2009, Building from Below was been dedicated to growing and supporting worker cooperatives- collectively owned local businesses- that create dignified work and living wages for member-owners. These cooperatives provide our communities greater economic security, give people greater control over their lives and working conditions, create opportunities for all to contribute their fullest potential, and form the basis of a new vision of economic democracy. Building from Below provides worker cooperative business development through bilingual workshops and training in the following areas.
1. Leadership development
2. Current Events and their impact on cooperatives
3. Principles of Cooperation
4. Business planning and financial analysis
5. Conflict resolution
6. Communication
7. Marketing
