The Co-Op Project is a 501(c)(3) organization driven by the mission to create opportunities that educate and empower youth ages 10 to 25 through mentorship and entrepreneurship. Our vision is to establish a space where every young individual has equal access to the opportunities needed to gain a head start in life, regardless of their circumstances. We create innovative, youth-centered programs that help students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally by partnering with schools, community centers, and small businesses to deliver high-impact experiences in education, creative expression, and mentorship. While our in-person programs serve the DMV area, we maintain a national reach through our online initiatives.
