Service Cooperatives

Service cooperatives are member-owned organizations that provide services to their members, rather than goods. They operate on the principle of mutual benefit, where individuals come together to pool resources and share costs for services like healthcare, childcare, or transportation. Members participate in decision-making and share the benefits, often leading to lower costs and better services tailored to their community's needs. Unlike traditional businesses, service cooperatives prioritize the interests of their members over profits, fostering collaboration and support among their membership.
