SayPro, in collaboration with the United States Peace Corps, is encouraging the growth of cooperative economic development initiatives that empower communities through shared ownership and collective action. SayPro supports co-ops in sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and services, helping members pool resources, reduce costs, and increase income. With Peace Corps volunteers offering technical support and organizational training, SayPro ensures these initiatives are democratic, inclusive, and sustainable. SayPro believes cooperative models can strengthen local economies, increase resilience, and create a sense of unity among participants who build prosperity together.
SayPro provides training on cooperative governance, financial management, and conflict resolution to ensure success and transparency. SayPro also offers support in accessing capital, identifying markets, and complying with legal requirements. The Peace Corps contributes insights from global cooperative movements and assists with mentorship and strategic planning. SayPro ensures that co-ops reflect the unique needs and aspirations of their communities, whether they’re producing food, textiles, or shared services. This inclusive model aligns with SayPro’s values of equity and collective progress.
SayPro targets underserved and rural communities where economic opportunities are often limited. By forming cooperatives, individuals gain the power to negotiate better prices, access larger contracts, and share profits more fairly. SayPro supports women- and youth-led co-ops to ensure marginalized voices have economic power. Peace Corps volunteers provide continuous coaching, helping co-ops remain dynamic and competitive. SayPro’s approach focuses on building long-term capacity, not just short-term outcomes. Through cooperation, SayPro empowers people to become active participants in shaping their local economies.
