WHAT WE DO AND WHO WE SERVE
The Co-Op Project Creates Innovative, youth centered programs that empower students ages 10–25 through education, mentorship, creative expression, and entrepreneurship. We create Opportunities that help young people thrive academically, socially, and emotionally by partnering with schools, community centers, and small businesses to deliver high impact experiences. Our in person programs serve the DMV area, with National reach through Online Initiatives.
PARTNERSHIP & TRANSPARENCY
We create opportunities for all by connecting businesses with communities. Many companies want to make a difference but need help finding the right partnerships. We act as a bridge, developing projects that serve local needs while benefiting all involved. To ensure transparency, individual donors can access project budgets to see exactly how their contributions are making an impact.
LISTEN TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE WE HAVE IMPACTED.
