Líderes Cooperativistas en Acción (LCA) (Development Fundamentals in Spanish)
The fastest growing sector in the past 10 years of worker cooperatives are immigrant-led and Spanish-speaking. There has been an overwhelming interest among these worker owners to connect with one another. Beyond developing a bond and building relationships, worker owners are seeking to learn lessons from fellow cooperators and teach others what they’ve learned along the way. As the old saying goes, “La unión hace la fuerza” (union creates strength). The Líderes Cooperativistas en Acción (LCA) training program lays a foundation for you to meet that need. The cohort that’s selected will collectively attend 3 in-person retreats, attend 5 online workshops, and partake in an independent project. The participants will evolve into leaders and trained peer advisers that support their own businesses and the growing need in startups, mature cooperatives, and conversions.
This training is designed for:
-
Spanish-speaking members of worker cooperatives who would like to pursue becoming peer advisors and taking on leadership roles in advancing the field of immigrant-led cooperatives.
Skills, analysis, and practice with a small cohort
The cohort-based learning community will take place over an eight-month period. Attendees are expected to attend all aspects, including:
- 3 in-person weekends, with day-long trainings, all in New York City.
- 5 facilitated online workshops.
- Self-selected project to develop/strengthen 1 skill and then presented at the end of course (max 30 hours of work).
- A buddy system to provide peer mentorship on personal goals
Leadership opportunities
The training will focus on skill building and developing a system analysis to become leaders of multiple platforms:
- The US Federation of Worker Cooperatives (USFWC) Spanish Member Council of Peer Advisors
- The Immigrant Cooperative Leaders’ Collaborative
- Board of Director for local chapters and the USFWC.
