Do you or your organization believe in the co-operative principles? Are you invested in building a more sustainable and equitable social economy? The commitment of our members help us develop and provide training and resources, as well as create opportunities for connecting, networking, and learning from each other. These in turn support the growth and success of co-operatives in Ontario. Learn more about Our Members.

Co‑operatives are stronger when we raise our voices together. We need your help to increase awareness of the co‑operative model and advocate for meaningful change on issues that matter to our sector. Contact us to learn how you can help raise the sector’s profile — including engaging your elected officials and championing co‑ops in your community. Learn more about our Advocacy initiatives!

The Co-operative Young Leaders summer camp succeeds in large part because of our facilitators - people who volunteer their time and skills to help the new generation of young co-operators learn about leadership, communication, teamwork, and co-operative values. Facilitators also gain new knowledge and skills, allowing them to grow both personally and professionally. Learn more about CYL!

Investing in youth - and the future of your co-operative or credit union - makes sense. The benefits of developing valuable life and work skills in young people will in turn benefit your organization, your members, and your community. Make CYL a part of your organization's youth engagement strategy! Learn more about CYL!

Membership dues alone aren't enough to make all of our programs and services possible. Contact us to learn how you can help support our organization and its mission, while raising your organization’s profile in the process! 

Let our award-winning educators introduce you, your staff, class, or team to our incredible co-operative sector through our interactive ONBoard program - and inspire a new generation of engaged employees, citizens and co-op champions!
