Cleveland, Ohio was once a proud industrial powerhouse. Then it lost more than half its population in one generation to the economic collapse of its industrial base. But it is coming back. Out of the ashes they have created the Evergreen Cooperatives, a network of community enterprises of, by, and for their community. The Evergreen Cooperatives are made up of diverse community stakeholders, are supported by their community, and operate for the benefit of their community. They are committed to local, worker-owned job creation; sustainable, green, and democratic workplaces; and community economic development.

Together we will learn about the Cleveland Model and then imagine

how its principles might be applied to our different challenges in Santa Barbara
