Launching Our First Worker Cooperative: Language Services

Launching Our First Worker Cooperative: Language Services Thanks to a generous grant from Community First Foundation , we are launching our first worker cooperative focused on offering excellent language services. Our goal is to diversify community wealth by incubating worker cooperatives . As rents in the area increase, it’s important to build community wealth so that families can remain in the area and send their kids to our local schools. We will provide the support and services necessary for these worker cooperatives to be successful and sustainable. While this worker cooperative goes through the process of forming, we will be offering language services so that the members of the cooperative can earn an income. Our focus for these language services is in Jefferson County, Colorado. If your organization, business or group is looking for translation services or interpretation during in-person or Zoom meetings, let us know how we can help. Our translators and interpreters are bilingual in Spanish and English, but we hope to add other languages as the cooperative grows. They have received Language Justice Interpretation training through Community Language Cooperative .
