St. Louis Co-Op members and advocates at the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives conference in 2022.
Our mission
Our mission is to develop and support a thriving ecosystem of cooperatively owned businesses and organizations in the St. Louis region by offering technical assistance, increasing cooperative economic power and access to resources, creating educational resources, and advocating for local policies that support cooperative ownership.
Our vision
Our vision is for a world where work, housing, food, finance, and all other aspects of life are designed for the benefit of all people rather than for the profit of a small group of shareholders and owners; where communities can live freely, thrive, and work together to meet their needs. We want to shift our culture from one of competition and scarcity to cooperation and abundance.
