The Co-op relies on its members to share in the governance, operation, and maintenance of our community, which is key to its success. Our high standards are upheld by the very individuals who reside here.

 

A willingness to participate is essential for membership acceptance, as volunteering helps keep our costs—and your housing fees—low.

​

A willingness to participate is an important criterion for acceptance into membership. Volunteering keeps our costs low and therefore also keeps your housing fee's low.

 

Living in a non-profit housing co-op entails:

​

• Active involvement in running the co-op in some form of manner is required.  This could mean being a board member,  joining a committee, such as, the social committee,  by offering your time to organize a co-op event or activity or doing deliveries to the members. There are many ways to volunteer. 

• You are required to attend General Meetings that are held at least two times a year. 

• You elect a board of directors made up of people who live in your co-op and volunteer their time to do so. We encourage you to run for the board of directors.

• You will receive audited financial statements that show transparency on how the co-op is financially managed.

​

If you enjoy volunteering and are willing to commit to community living . . . then you’ll enjoy co-op living!

​

Some of our Board Member Committees include: The President, Vice President, Treasurer, Recording Secretary, Housing, Social events, Health and Wellness, Emergency preparedness, Maintenance, Membership, Planning and Renewal.
