Sand Mountain Cooperative Education Center
Marshall County, Alabama
Our mission: expand and strengthen worker-ownership and cooperative institutions.
We use ownership to teach.
We use education to build ownership.
At the Sand Mountain Cooperative Education Center, we believe that:
1) Everyone deserves access to the dignity of ownership.
2) Wealth should flow back to the communities that produce it.
3) Ownership is more than a right. It’s a skillset.
Cooperative Education: Training the next generation of workers to be owners
How do you train a workforce that approaches all business like an owner? We do workforce development by training teenagers and adults and then help connect them with local worker-owned businesses.
The Owner’s Workshop
Ownership is competitive. But most worker-owned companies do not fully utilize the natural advantages of ownership.
The Owner’s Workshop offers tools, training, and strategic advice to worker-owned businesses to help them win in the marketplace and grow the pool of owners and worker-owned assets in the economy.
Ownership Incubator
Have you ever thought that if you were given an opportunity to lead you could do something amazing? We help people turn a promising idea into a thriving reality.
Are you a small business owner in search of a succession plan? Are you worried about what selling your business means for your legacy? We help business owners exit by selling to their employees. Learn more here.
Glow and Grow Fundraising Cooperative
Glow + Grow is a fundraising co-op that helps bring resources to small local nonprofits while teaching high school students literacy, research, and civic skills. As a cooperative of fundraisers and grant writers, students and staff are co-owners of Glow and Grow, which means they pay themselves for their work and have a vote at Board Meetings.
