Our Mission

To Create Opportunities to Educate and Empower the youth.

OUR VISION

To establish a space where young individuals have equal access to opportunities, enabling them to get a head start in life.

WHAT WE DO 

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.

HOW WE DO IT 

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.

WHY WE DO IT

We believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to get a head start in life, regardless of their circumstances.
