The Evergreen Cooperatives: A new model of economic development

The Evergreen Cooperatives—a network of worker owned cooperatives in Cleveland—strive to include people in the creation of jobs and access to wealth who would otherwise be excluded.

After six months, all employees of Cleveland's evergreen cooperatives start contributing to their ownership fund, and the businesses are driven by stakeholders but by the worker/owners.
