Democracy At Work Institute

The Democracy at Work Institute is a project of the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives, created to ensure that further growth in the worker cooperative movement actively reaches those economically marginalized workers who need sustainable jobs the most. It is a way to share and build upon the knowledge, skills and resources that worker cooperatives have developed over the years.

The mission of the Democracy at Work Institute is to promote the worker cooperative model by sharing skills among existing cooperatives, providing practical support in the form of training resources and referrals to those interested in starting worker cooperatives, and educating the public about the need for and benefits of worker-ownership and workplace democracy.
