Engaged Opportunity Grants

Experiential Learning with Co-ops

Partnering students and cooperative businesses for hands-on projects

Today’s students are becoming increasingly interested in businesses dedicated to triple bottom lines —benefiting people, the planet and profits. Cooperative businesses fit this mold, yet business schools rarely teach courses that expose students to the co-op model. This project connects students with cooperative leaders who identify current challenges facing their businesses. Working together, they come up with solutions that address the co-ops’ unique strategy, governance and finance issues.

Grant category: Student Leadership

Topics: Economic Vitality and Entrepreneurship; Education; Law, Government and Policy
