Those within the co-operative sector know that co-operatives serve as a stabilizing force against economic challenges, including those from tariffs. By promoting local economic resilience, diversification of markets, and a focus on long-term community well-being rather than short-term profits, co-operatives help mitigate the risks posed by trade disruptions and support a more sustainable economic model. 

Bookkeeping for a co-operative may sound different—but at its core, it follows the same structure and principles as any other small business or nonprofit. If you can do general bookkeeping, you can absolutely manage co-operative books too.

Investing in youth is an investment in our collective future. By nurturing co-operative values and principles within young people, we not only strengthen our co-operative organizations but also contribute to building a better world.
