RBWS Overview

In 2023, Repaired Nations will partner with Village Connect to present our S.K. Work Based Learning Program. A cohort of 6+ cooperatively-minded people will be invited into a 9 month educational experience where you will (a) learn the history of Black cooperatives and mutual aid through an 8 week Collective Courage Book Club; (b) understand the basics of business and the cooperative mindset with Village Connect’s Return to Black Wall Street; (c) intern at an existing cooperative in the Bay Area; and (d) receive 1-on-1 support to develop growth for yourself and your business. The process of completing the program will give graduates a comprehensive understanding in areas associated with cooperative development, black cooperative history / legacy, team building fundamentals, business operations, technical insight into business and an individual/collective reflection of service, democratic stewardship and germination (processes to grow).
